Introducing the Izzo 12" caixa de guerra

The Izzo caixa de guerra is a small snare drum, perfect for playing the repetitive rhythms that give samba music its unique urgency. With easy to hold dimensions of 12” head x 20cm height, and made out of aluminium, the drum is strong and sturdy and offers optimum resonance.

A great rhythmic utility

The name 'caixa de guerra' translates from Portuguese to mean 'War Drum', as this snare was originally used in military settings to keep marching time. As a result, we recommend it for any samba band, where unity in rhythm and tempo is always crucial!

The Izzo brand

The Izzo brand represents authentic Brazilian percussion and is widely regarded as one of the top instrument manufacturers in Brazilian Samba. Hailing from Sao Paulo, Izzo have been producing a wide range of high quality instruments for over 60 years, and we are proud to say we are the sole importers of Izzo products.

Samba instrument care and maintenance

Izzo manufacture quality, authentic Brazilian samba drums and percussion which they have been doing for over 60 years. Their products are hugely popular in schools, colleges and with performing samba ensembles the world over. With the correct care and attention, these instruments should provide musical satisfaction and energetic performances for many years. Here are just a few tips to keep your samba gear in optimal condition.

Before and after playing

We recommend wiping the drums and beaters down with a damp cloth, as well as inspecting the tuning adjusters on each drum to check for any loose nuts. As a part of this process, you can also monitor the tension of the heads. If you find that an adjuster has come loose or a head seems slack, loosen off the entire head to thumb-tight and then re-tune using the included mini spanner. The best way to do this evenly is to tune opposite pairs, and the following diagram will give you the correct order in which to tune various sizes of surdo, caixa, repinique and tamborim:

The schematic above demonstrates the correct order for tightening the nuts onto the hooks of a Surdo. This way the tension is spread most evenly. Start with all the nuts just finger tight and then tighten each nut in turn by half a turn (starting with nut number 1, then 2, then 3 etc.). When you've tightened all the nuts, check the tuning. If a higher pitch is needed, repeat the process (again starting with nut number 1) by a quarter turn at a time and carry on until you're happy with the sound.

When tuning a set of three surdos (14", 16" and 18") start with the 18" and tighten it until the sound is nicely resonant (not "flat"). The tune the 16" until the pitch is higher than the 18". Finally tune the 14", again to a higher pitch than the 16".

If you're tuning more than one surdo of each size, tune all the 18" first, then all the 16" etc. Use the same order for tightening the nuts on the Caxia, Repeniques and Tamborims.

This jean jacket is super cute comfortable and I get a lot of compliments😍🤩
Size: Large, Color: Medium Blue Vintage, Size: Large, Color: Medium Blue Vintage
I absolutely love this denim jacket—it’s become my new go-to layering piece for everything from casual errands to date nights! As a busy mom who needs clothes that can keep up with my day without sacrificing style, this one checks all the boxes. The medium-wash blue denim has that perfect lived-in feel right out of the box, with just the right amount of structure while still being soft and comfortable against the skin. The fit is fantastic—it’s cropped just enough to flatter without feeling too short, hitting right at the waist so it pairs beautifully with high-waisted jeans, leggings, or even flowy dresses. I love the classic button-front design and the chest pockets that add a touch of authentic detail without being bulky. The sleeves are nicely tailored too, with enough room to roll them up for a more relaxed vibe or wear them down for polish. It’s surprisingly versatile for all seasons: throw it over a basic tank or tee in warmer weather, or layer it over a cozy sweater when the evenings get cooler. What really stands out is the quality. The fabric feels sturdy and well-made, with reinforced stitching that makes me confident it’ll hold up through countless washes and wears. No fraying or fading after a few cycles so far, which is huge for something I reach for multiple times a week. It’s also got a nice subtle stretch that moves with you, making it ideal for long days chasing kids or sitting at a desk. I’ve styled it with everything from sneakers and mom jeans for school drop-off to boots and a cute top for church or a night out, and it always elevates the look without trying too hard. If you’re looking for a timeless denim jacket that feels fresh and modern, this is the one! It’s flattering on real bodies (curves and all), easy to care for, and instantly makes any outfit feel more put-together. I’ve already recommended it to several friends, and I can’t imagine my closet without it now.

Great jacket for the price!
Size: XX-Large, Color: White
The denim jacket has a nice relaxed fit without feeling too baggy and it looks great doing it. There's just enough elastic for the jacket to stretch a little without losing its shape. The color's accurate and it's hard to beat the price so I've no notes!
