Chocalho de Platinela by Contemporânea

This is the modern and most popular form of samba shaker used in samba school baterias.
 
Lighter than older chocalho models, its construction makes it more agile, making it easier to play while creating its distinctive visual effects.
 
Produces a dry, cutting sound that complements the other bateria instruments while creating a powerful drive to the groove. It’s both visually and sonically impressive.
 
Carried at chest level, this chocalho opens up a whole range of movement possibilities. Today’s samba school chocalho lines are tightly choreographed - think sweeping twists, flicks and turns blended with drilled formation moves. Combined with tight, unison grooves, they give the front of the bateria its burst of visual colour and spectacle.
