Also known as repique, repeke or reps, the repinique is played with one hard drumstick and an open hand, delivering crisp and resonant tones.

Their products are hugely popular in schools, colleges and with performing samba ensembles the world over. With the correct care and attention, these instruments should provide musical satisfaction and energetic performances for many years. Here are just a few tips to keep your samba gear in optimal condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBefore and after playing\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe recommend wiping the drums and beaters down with a damp cloth, as well as inspecting the tuning adjusters on each drum to check for any loose nuts. As a part of this process, you can also monitor the tension of the heads. If you find that an adjuster has come loose or a head seems slack, loosen off the entire head to thumb-tight and then re-tune using the included mini spanner. The best way to do this evenly is to tune opposite pairs, and the following diagram will give you the correct order in which to tune various sizes of surdo, caixa, repinique and tamborim:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"max-width:850px;max-height:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.frederickhyde.com\/description_images\/izzo_care_diagram.jpg\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe schematic above demonstrates the correct order for tightening the nuts onto the hooks of a Surdo.\u003c\/strong\u003e This way the tension is spread most evenly. Start with all the nuts just finger tight and then tighten each nut in turn by half a turn (starting with nut number 1, then 2, then 3 etc.). When you've tightened all the nuts, check the tuning. If a higher pitch is needed, repeat the process (again starting with nut number 1) by a quarter turn at a time and carry on until you're happy with the sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen tuning a set of three surdos (14\", 16\" and 18\") start with the 18\" and tighten it until the sound is nicely resonant (not \"flat\"). The tune the 16\" until the pitch is higher than the 18\". Finally tune the 14\", again to a higher pitch than the 16\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you're tuning more than one surdo of each size, tune all the 18\" first, then all the 16\" etc. Use the same order for tightening the nuts on the Caxia, Repeniques and Tamborims.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;\"\u003e\n\u003ciframe style=\"display:block;margin:0 auto;padding:20px; border:4px solid #1b9b44;\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ybbPKaRFK_M?si=sZQjR7zLdfMuZb6G\" title=\"NUVO Toot: Detailed Repair Instructions\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n","brand":"Izzo","offers":[{"title":"A1","offer_id":56284235727227,"sku":"IZZO-30","price":1916.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0068\/1095\/9937\/files\/0912957f36f32995.jpg?v=1780908876","url":"https:\/\/frederickhyde.com\/products\/izzo-30","provider":"Frederick Hyde Music Distribution","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
