Atan-tanis a cylindricalhand drumfromBrazilthat is used in smallsambaandpagodeensembles.[1]It imitates the bigSurdowhich is played by the famous sambabaterias(percussion ensembles). But due to its smaller size the tan-tan is not as loud as asurdoand so it is played rarely in big samba schools, but rather within closer gatherings of musicians called Rodas do Chôro.
The tan-tan is played in a sitting or standing position by one hand beating the drum head whilst the other hand taps the metal or wood body of the drum.
