Developed in collaboration with Gabriel Policarpo, one of Rio’s most creative and respected percussionists, this signature repique captures the perfect balance of power, precision, and expression.
Built by Contemporânea, it delivers a dynamic sound range — from sharp, cutting rimshots to warm, resonant open tones. Every detail reflects Gabriel’s signature style: modern, energetic, and deeply rooted in samba tradition.
Lightweight, responsive, and beautifully crafted, this repique performs effortlessly in any setting — from intimate rodas to full-blown stage shows. Designed for musicians who want their drum to speak with character and clarity, it’s an instrument that inspires creativity every time you play.
