For clarification, in capoeira, the bateria is actually the "band" of instruments. Instruments include the birimbau, of which there are three. The birimbau is a rather crude looking instrument originally from Africa. The bateria also includes the pandeiro, (tamborine), Also included are the agogo which is a cowbell and the reco-reco which is a wooden instrument that has ridges which are scraped with a stick to produce a rasping sound.
