Sometimes a double head is put on the drum to dampen the sound.

CUICA : Two sizes, 10 inch (25cm) diameter and the small 6 inch (2.5 cm), the cuica is a hand drum with a stick attached in the middle of the skin, holding the drum under one arm you put the other arm up inside the drum from the bottom and rub the stick up and down with a damp cloth, this makes the drum grunt and squeak somewhat !
