3rd picture im holding a 'pandiero' and man it was heavy and i had to play it for 320 bars of music..one of the hardest instruments for me to play ...my hand was still cramping on me when i got home after the gig from holding it and playing it that long..much respect for Pandiero players of Brasil...
