  • The cuica produces its mad, monkey like rhythmic sound by means of a thin bamboo stick attached to a drum head which is, in turn, mounted on a drum shell
  • The player rubs the stick with a piece of damp cloth and applies varying pressure to the drum head creating the characteristic almost human wailing sound
  • We supply, when available, instruments from Gope, Artcelsior, Remo, Contemporanea and others, together with spare cuica heads and sticks
