Schlagwerk - RTS40SK Chiadero

The Schlagwerk RTS40SK Chiadero gives your hand a texture, a vibration that speaks for itself. Here, the boundary between frame drum and shaker disappears. Imagine: a tap on the goatskin resonates while a flick of the wrist adds the light grain of a rhythmic rain. The instrument thinks with you!

Designed in Germany in collaboration with seasoned percussionists, this object is a lesson in acoustic architecture. The seven-ply laminated beech frame has all the rigidity needed for crystal-clear projection. The eight tuning screws are not mere accessories; they are your tools for sculpting the instrument's personality. You compose your audio, from deep bass to dry snap.

The internal bridge, which houses the shaker particles, is a game-changer. It transforms a simple percussion line into a complex carpet of sound. In a recording session, it saves you the trouble of stacking tracks. In a live situation, with a single gesture, you can go from the rumble of a frame drum to the airy blast of a shaker, capturing the audience's attention.

This instrument refuses to be categorised. It's just as at home in acoustic jam circles as it is in electronic productions where you're looking for an organic touch. It doesn't require inaccessible technique, but rewards nuance and intention. The Chiadero doesn't wait to be played; let it breathe new life into your compositions and spontaneous improvisations.
