Here is the trend in Salvador de Bahia in recent years: a timba with 16 tension rods, allowing for a very high tuning to achieve the typical Bahia sound.
Classic 90 cm wooden timba, lightweight with excellent sound. This depth produces more volume and resonance than the 70 cm models.
It features a comfort hoop to protect your hands. Includes an additional internal reinforcement hoop that strengthens the shell. Temporanea models come standard with supernylon heads that have a special fiber optic layer on the underside; this synthetic layer delivers an open sound with volume but minimal overtones.
- Diameter: 14"
- Height: 90 cm
- Weight: 5.3 Kg

About Contemporânea
Contemporânea has been synonymous with Brazilian percussion since 1946. Founded in São Paulo by the visionary Miguel Fasanelli, the brand has become a benchmark for samba drum kits, blocos, and all kinds of carnival ensembles. Their instruments blend tradition with industrial precision: aluminum shells and carefully selected woods, hardware designed for high tension, and “Light” series crafted for street playing without fatigue. Their pandeiros feature lightweight solutions: superlight flat-profile hoops, frames with formica sheets, hammered brass jingles, and 6 tension rods for quick tuning; natural skin, nylon, or napa options shape the character of each model. The lineup includes surdos, repeniques, caixas, tamborins, cuicas, timbales, and rebolos, all made in Brazil. It’s no coincidence that artists like Gabriel Policarpo design signature models and that names such as Monobloco, Demônios da Garoa, Sorriso Maroto, and Claudia Leitte choose their sounds. Contemporânea: the authentic pulse of Brazil, ready to elevate your groove.
