Why Choose the Izzo ABS Pandeiro?

The pandeiro is an essential samba instrument, similar to a tambourine but with a wider range of tones. Played by hand, it produces slaps, open tones, muted hits, and jingling textures that colour samba music. Izzo’s ABS model is lighter and more affordable than their professional series, making it ideal for schools, beginners, and community samba groups while still offering the authentic sound and feel of Brazilian percussion.
