Rumpi Capoeira Atabaque with Two-Tone Wood Finish – Handmade Afro-Brazilian Percussion Drum
The Rumpi Atabaque with a two-tone wood finish combines traditional craftsmanship with a distinctive visual style. Built with the same premium materials and construction as our standard Rumpi model, it delivers identical sound quality while offering a more refined and decorative appearance thanks to its contrasting wood tones.
As the intermediate-sized atabaque, the Rumpi sits between the large Rum and the smaller Lê. It is appreciated for its balanced, warm and versatile sound, making it an excellent choice for capoeira rodas, competitions, schools, performances and percussion enthusiasts.
A traditional drum of Afro-Brazilian culture
The Rumpi Atabaque is an iconic instrument in Capoeira, accompanying the berimbau, singing and the bateria. It is also widely used in Maculelê, Candomblé, Umbanda, as well as other African-rooted cultural, spiritual and religious traditions where the drum plays a central role.
Its balanced tone blends naturally with other percussion instruments while providing a precise, expressive and rhythmic presence.
Handmade craftsmanship with premium materials
Every Rumpi Atabaque is handcrafted by an experienced artisan specializing in traditional musical instruments.
Each instrument is made from carefully selected materials:
- Genuine cowhide leather
- Handcrafted varnished wood with an elegant two-tone finish
- High-strength sisal rope
- Steel hoops
- Wooden stand included
The result is a reliable and durable Brazilian percussion instrument, perfectly suited for regular use by capoeira groups, associations, schools, teachers and professional percussionists.
A unique decorative finish
The distinctive feature of this model is its elegant appearance.
The combination of two complementary wood tones gives the instrument additional character and refinement while preserving the authentic identity of a traditional handcrafted atabaque.
Because every instrument is individually handmade, slight variations may naturally occur in:
- wood colour and grain;
- varnish finish;
- appearance of the natural leather.
These differences are part of the charm and authenticity of handcrafted instruments.

Responsibly sourced wood
To help preserve natural resources, we use wood sourced from responsibly managed forests.
Several wood species traditionally used in Brazil are now protected or subject to strict regulations. This sustainable approach allows us to preserve the authentic acoustic qualities expected from a professional Capoeira atabaque while respecting the environment.

Each atabaque is carefully packed before shipment and fully insured according to its value.
Upon delivery, carefully inspect the parcel in the presence of the carrier.

Care and tuning
Wood and natural leather require proper care to preserve both their appearance and acoustic qualities.
We recommend storing your atabaque in a dry environment, protected from excessive humidity and significant temperature changes.
A tuning tutorial is available on our YouTube channel, guiding you step by step to achieve the best possible sound while helping preserve your instrument over time.
