The Eagle's Battery
THE HEART OF SCHOOL
It is the drums that set the pace for everyone on the avenue.
Looking at the parade we see a large orchestra in motion:
The deaf is the most serious instrument of the drums with its three types: the first, the second and the third. Then there are the instruments that are considered intermediate: the box, the raise, or raise. Finally the treble: the tambourine, the cuica, the agogô and the rattle.
The position of each drummer on the avenue is carefully studied by Mestre Juca (battery master), who positions the instruments in the way he thinks best.
In addition to the organization, the school's battery also differs in terms of parades and, of course, the arrangements.
The result is that there is no one who can stand on the side of the Águia de Ouro's battery.
