11" pandeiro for Samba Pagode - show size for big time sound!

11" pandeiros are an excellent size if you are looking for more sound substance than a 10" offers but a 12" is too big and heavy for you. Pandeiristas with large hands will also find more playing comfort in the extra inch.  Volume, sound and show effect of 11" pandeiros up the characteristics of a 10" by a scale and you'll see them quite frequently in Rodas de Samba or at stage performances. Show effect and richer sounds are en vogue, time to work out your pandeiro muscles! This line by Gope uses a white formica frame and cherry-coloured metallic hardware. The pandeiro has a special head with a material combination of nylon with a haptical laminate by Dupont Nomex which reduced overtones and crispy slaps. Pandeiros with synthetic heads tend to be heavier as they are tuned higher and have to compensate the tension through the frame.
