Description
What Is a Surdo?
The surdo is the bass drum of samba: a large drum that carries the pulse that holds the whole percussion section together. Born in Brazil, today it's as much a part of batucadas as it is of murgas and comparsas here.
This 24' wooden surdo, double head is more bass and presence, to add real weight to the group. Traditional closed build, with a head on both sides: wooden shell that brings warm tone and full resonance, with more sustain than a single-head surdo.
What's Included?
- Aluminum mallets (your choice of color), pair, 43 cm long.
- Wide double half-moon strap + J-hook.
- Wooden shell paint, your choice of color.
What's Not Included?
Doesn't include custom vinyl decals, which are added separately, as their own product.
