Hand-repique

It’s a small drum of cylindrical form, that can be made of wood, aluminum or acrylic.

Its common role inside these genres is to increase the percussion section, filling up the spaces and playing the off-beats.

It was invented by musician Ubirany, founder and percussionist with the band "Fundo de Quintal".

So he adapted it, adding a few mufflers on the inside, lowering the hoop and taking the bottom skin off it.

It became so popular that it began to be produced by several manufactures (such as Gope, Contemporânea and Izzo), evolving away from the original repinique.
