 An iconic Brazilian instrument! The pandeiro is a frame-drum with jingles that is held in the weaker hand and played by striking with the thumb, fingertips, heel of the hand and the whole hand. The pandeiro can produce such a range of timbres and variety of sounds that it is widely considered 'the complete percussion instrument'. Today, the pandeiro is featured as part of a bateria more as a spectacle than for its sound, as they are quickly drowned out by a 500-strong percussion section! The pandeiro is widely used in pagode ('soft') samba.
