Samba Instruments

We have been of service to many Samba bands across the country and offer an excellent service (as you will know if you have ordered from us before!) Our prices are competitive, and we will match price in every case. All the prices on our site include VAT – and large orders get big discounts!

For those band members who are applying for grants, we can provide free quotes to help you with your application. For most Samba bands we offer a 30-day invoice on larger orders and grant-funded orders. Contact us to discuss this in person.

We supply all brands including Gope, Contemporanea, RMV, Bauer, Percussion Plus and Remo. We also supply many specialist instruments, including surdo, repenique, caixa, tamborim, rocar, ganza, chocalho de platinela, timba, agogo bells, cuica, whistles, pandiero and reco reco, tan tan and rebolo.

Our choice of Samba instruments is designed to offer a full range of products, prices and styles. Please note – Brazilian supply lines can be sporadic, so when choosing from this page, please talk to us beforehand and we can update you as to what's available and what’s not.

We can offer a set package of drums at discounted rates as listed below. Or, if you want a discounted pack tailored to the needs of your group or school call or e-mail us with your details. We can suggest various packages depending on the age and numbers in the group, and to suit your budget.
