Izzo Caixa 12" x 6" (IZ5973)

A genuine Caixa snare manufactured in Brazil, this 12" x 6"  model features 6 tuning rods, 6 strand wire snare whilst being lightweight due to aluminium construction.

The Caixa is a snare drum with thick wires that is tuned to a high pitch and used to play the repetitive driving rhythms that give samba music its urgency. Unlike its Western marching band counterpart, it's played snare-side up.

This model has a 12" head on each end of the 6" body, held in place by gleaming chrome counter hoops and 6 adjustable tension rods. A combination of the aluminium shell and durable white Nylon skins - the definitive samba drum construction materials - ensures optimum resonance which creates that recognisable carnival tone. Each drum comes fully assembled and includes a tuning key for tightening the skins.
