Pandeiro

Panderios come with either nylon or skin heads. Nylon is often louder and more durable and can be tuned higher. Singly ply nylon is more versatile: double ply nylon is more focused in tone and louder when tuned to higher pitches. Skin has a more mellow tone and can be tuned low to medium pitches.

Platinelas (jingles) are made of steel (very bright sounding), brass (darker tone), or other metals. Most 10″ pandeiros have five or six sets of platinellas. Some larger drums have seven sets.

10″ is the most common and versatile size. Larger drums can be louder, with more platinelas and higher tension on the head.

Here is a brief comparison of most of the pandeiros available from Virada Drums:
