In a samba band, the caixa, or snare drum, is typically played by one musician who focuses on maintaining the rhythm. However, some larger samba ensembles may have multiple caixa players to create a richer and more layered sound. The number can vary depending on the size and arrangement of the band, but it's common to see one to three caixa players in traditional samba groups.

What instruments are in samba music?

The most important instrument in a band is the one that sets pitch. Pitch tends to be set by keyboard, be it piano or the synthesizer of rock bands. But some bands may not have keyboard. A rock band without keyboard sets pitch by its lead guitarist. Its drumplayer sets the secondary and tertiary concerns of rhythm and tempo. A strictly brass band sets pitch by its most important instrument, the trumpet. A strictly military band sets pitch by the oboe. A strictly string band sets pitch by the first violin.
