Tarol 12” x 10cm Ivsom

A 12" x 10cm tarol from Ivsom in Rio, with a duraluminium shell, six lugs and brass fittings.
 
It sits comfortably under the arm, and it's widely used to play the distinctive variations of the partido alto rhythm you can find at Salgueiro and Vila Isabel, amongst other samba schools.
 
It's handy for plenty more besides, from other styles of Brazilian music to a small samba snare in a drum kit setup.
