Why Choose the Izzo Tamborim?

The tamborim is a vital part of samba ensembles, typically played with a double or triple-pronged plastic stick to deliver fast, syncopated rhythms. Its small size means multiple tamborims are often used together to cut through the ensemble’s texture.

The Izzo ABS tamborim combines authentic Brazilian craftsmanship with modern durability, making it perfect for classroom teaching, youth groups, and professional samba bands alike.
