Capoeira instruments are disposed in a row called [[bateria]]. It is traditionally formed by three [[berimbau]]s, two [[pandeiro]]s, three [[atabaque]]s, one [[agogô]] and one [[ganzá]], but this format may vary depending on the capoeira group's traditions or the roda style.

The berimbau is the leading instrument, determining the tempo and style of the music and game played. Two low-pitch berimbaus (called berra-boi and médio) form the base and a high-pitch berimbau (called viola) makes variations and improvisations. The other instruments must follow the berimbau's rhythm, free to vary and improvise a little, depending upon the capoeira group's musical style.<ref>Assunção, M. R. (2002).

As the capoeiristas change their playing style significantly following the [[capoeira toques|toque]] of the berimbau, which sets the game's speed, style and aggressiveness, it is truly the music that drives a capoeira game.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2022-04-21 |title=Instruments of Capoeira: The Music That Drives Movement |url=https://lvcapoeira.com/instruments-of-capoeira-the-music-that-drives-movement/ |access-date=2022-07-12 |website=LV Capoeira |language=en-US |archive-date=25 May 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220525024628/https://lvcapoeira.com/instruments-of-capoeira-the-music-that-drives-movement/ |url-status=dead }}</ref>
