The Contemporânea C-REP03 is a 12" x 30 cm aluminum repinique from the Pro Series, designed for the stage, the street, and large baterias. An iconic instrument of Brazilian samba, it combines power, precision, and reliability, offering percussionists a clear, punchy, and full sound, ideal for calls and breaks. Designed in Brazil by Contemporânea, a leading brand in Afro-Brazilian percussion, this model stands out for its professional-grade construction and exemplary durability.
With its polished aluminum shell and 8 tension rods, the C-REP03 offers remarkable strength and extremely stable tuning, even during intensive outdoor playing. Its 12-inch diameter and 30 cm depth produce a sharp attack, spectacular projection, and balanced resonance. This repinique is designed to cut through the mix of a bateria while maintaining tonal precision, perfect for musicians who lead the rhythm section or perform powerful and expressive solos.
This model is intended for batucadeiros, samba-reggae percussionists, or stage musicians looking for a repinique that can hold its own in any context. It is particularly appreciated for its lightweight design, comfort during parades, and responsiveness. Thanks to Contemporânea's high-quality manufacturing, the C-REP03 maintains a bright and consistent sound, even after hours of performance. It is suitable for intermediate to professional players who want a durable, precise, and expressive instrument.
The C-REP03 repinique features sturdy chrome hardware, solid hoops, and meticulous machining, ensuring perfect skin support and even tension. Its polished aluminum finish not only provides an elegant look, but also resistance to moisture and corrosion, which is essential for outdoor performances. This model is compatible with Contemporânea straps and the brand's carrying cases (12" x 30 cm).
For optimal sound, be sure to tighten the 8 cross-braced tension rods evenly and adjust the tension according to the desired register: tight for a dry, bright sound, looser for a warmer attack. After each use, clean the shell and hoops with a dry cloth to preserve the shine of the aluminum and the stability of the tuning. Store it in a padded cover to protect it from shocks and moisture.
Thanks to its exceptional projection, the C-REP03 dominates large ensembles and stands out as the leading repinique in carnival baterias. It excels in samba, samba-reggae, axé, and modern fusion styles that blend traditional percussion and urban music. Its power, precision, and responsiveness make it a must-have for any musician who wants to express the full energy of Brazilian rhythm.
