Aluminium Caixa Samba drum 14" x 15cm deep - 6 tension rods and made in Brazil.

Izzo's 14'' caixa de guerra is a powerful percussion tool for the samba style. This lightweight drum is perfectly dynamic for samba music, with a clear and vivid tone that packs a punch without being unwieldy. At 14'' x 15cm, it is also highly portable which is ideal for schools and music hubs putting together their own samba bands.

The name 'caixa de guerra' translates from Portuguese to mean 'War Drum', as this snare was originally used in military settings to keep marching time. As a result, we recommend it for any samba band, where unity in rhythm and tempo is always crucial!
