The bateria is all the instruments that compose the capoeira.
In the bateria usual depending on what school
you go to, we have three berimbaus, sometimes two pandeiro, which is
the tambourine, and we have a atabaque, which is the drum.
And also along with the instruments, we have the clappi, which sets the rhythm for the
capoeira, for the capoeiristas.
And then comes the singing, and we have the currs as well.
One of the instruments in the bateria, is the pandeiro,
known also as the tambourine.
So the pandeiro can be played in a couple of different ways.
So usually in a very simple way to be played.
It can be...
[plays instrument]
And this is the pandeiro.
We can also in capoeira, we have three other instruments.
We have the berimbaus.
And we have the gunga, also known as the berra-boi.
We have the medio.
And we have the viola.
These three instruments there the ones that are real leads
the roda.
So we are going to have a demonstration of the berimbaus.
Have a procansisio play the berimbaus . And there are different rhythms
in capoeira.
Okay.
You can play, he's going to play just a bungalia for
now.
[plays instrument]
And this is the berimbaus.
And usually in a capoeira hoder, we have three berimbaus.
Two pandeiros, and a atabaque.
Followed by the clapping and the singing.
The berimbaus is made with cabasa, which is a gourd berra-boi.
Or berimbaus.
Which is the wood over here.
And then we have the Aramie.
Now a days you can find aramie on music stores.
They sell this wire for music instruments.
And we have the doe-brown.
Which is just a rock.
Also we can use a coin for that.
And then on my right hand I have the bacata and the
cashushi.
Inside the cashushi is usually, we put seeds, any kind of seeds
that will still dry and as you hit back and forth, gives you some good
sound.
And then they are pretty much three notes in the berimbaus.
The first one.
By pressing the brown against the wire, softly, and then in a
way that gives different sound.
Also by moving the cabasa away from your stomach, that will give you a different sound.
So we can just like scratch softly.
[plays instrument]
And as you notice the cabasa stays on my stomach.
And then if I hit a little bit lower, and move the cabasa away,
gives me a different sound.
[plays instrument]
And if I press I little bit harder and move the cabasa.
[plays instrument]
Gives me that note.
So with the three notes you can play bangela.
[plays instrument]
You can also play many other rhythms only with those three notes.
And we can play some metalgrangia.
Which goes:
[plays instrument]
And that was some metalgrangia.
The atabaque is part of the bateria in capoeira.
Which is the drum.
Now its called capoeira roda.
We place the atabaque on the left hand side.
And just like other instruments.
They all follow the berimbaus.
They all follow the ganz? which is more to the left.
We have ganz?, mage, and viola.
And then we have the pandeiro.
pandeiros, two pandeiros.
The tambourine, and we have the drums.
So usually the atabaque goes on the left and the atabaque
match holds the base for the beat.
You know goes, hmm.
You know goes one two three.
One two three.
And also depending how what rhythm you're playing
the atabaque sometimes speeds up, the atabaque sometimes slows down.
So its like the bass in capoeira.
