Lightweight caixa for Samba Reggae, 14'' x 15 cm - aluminium - black, Gope
Play Samba Reggae like in Salvador! 14'' is the standard snare format for Samba Reggae and Afro Samba. Gope instruments generally stand out by their extremely light weight. The shell is made of aluminium sheet with a welded seam and fixed snare wires. The hardware is painted black. A welded drum body has a higher vibration behavior in its sound, because the metal can resonate easier. Gope builds its drums in lightweight construction methods which made their range very popular, especially through their ultr-light surdos. They save weight by using thinner metal sheet and a strong construction of slim-line hardware.
Rich sound and light-weight!

GOPE is a family-run business from the area around São Paulo. Today the company is being run in its third generation by the grand daughter of the firm´s founder.
The brand GOPE has been producing drums and smallpercussion instruments for over 50 years now. When the company was founded, there was already a small workshop in which drumsets were manufactured.
In 1962, the production of the typical Samba instruments began, iniciated by Humberto Rodella, the son of the founder. The company kept growing and after several relocations in São Paulo, GOPE finally found the right place for building a large production hall in Embu Guaçu, a suburb of São Paulo.
Since then GOPE produces in Embu Guaçu everything from the Agogô to the Zabumba, a wide range of percussion instruments, and only recently also various wind instruments.
GOPE has always kept in close touch with the musicians. The ideas and proposals for modifications that they received from many of those contacts, have always had much influence in the development of new instruments and improvement of production.
