8'' compact cuica - small and light-weight for all levels8'' cuicas the most versatile size. You can take them on travels as they will easily fit in your hand luggage; they sound great in a bateria just as in a small roda de samba and are for beginners as for advanced players. Gope is known for its ultra-light way of building instruments, if you are looking for a compact, well-made and light instrument in the middle price range, this cuica should be just what you are looking for. You might want to sand down the bambu a little bit as it comes quite thick from the factory. A thinner stick will respond easier and transport more vibration to the skin, it is then easier to produce a good tone but of course a thinner stick is more fragile than a thicker one.Who does not appreciate a cuica in a bateria - the small 'hum pot' contributes with a multitude of peculiar and funny tones like singing, squeaking, wining, sighing and happy sounds to any bateria, small Samba ensemble or Pagode band. Producer Gope from the São Paulo area in Brazil builds this solid model with an aluminium shell and chromed tension rods. The hoop is black and the hide head uses an aluminium frame. The shell is welded - typical for all Gope instrument. A welded shell has a different vibration character as the instrument body is able to transfer tones with a higher content of shell sound.

Head 12'' Nylon GP3 high edge
€8.00
12“ GP3 head for caixa / repinique / timbal (P3 - 250 Micron: 0,25mm) - GOPE
GP3 heads are thick, single-layered synthetic heads with a saturated sound, medium bass character and very little overtones. They produce a full, strong and almost matt tone due to their thickness and vibration behaviour - thick heads vibrate less than than thin heads. A special feature of the GP3 heads is the distance between the aluminium rim and and the surface of the head which is larger, compared to other brands, meaning that the head will settle well on your instrument shell straight away.
Resonance head or batter head?GP3 heads are ideally used as batter heads. For a resonance head, a thinner option will vibrate stronger and in combination with a GP3 batter head produce a nicer sound.
Give it some time:The life career of a head begins with the moment you put it on your drum for the first time. Each time you tune it, the head will fit itself more comfortably onto the rim of shell being the base for the head. Also in terms of sound, time has an effect on every head. New heads often sound a bit whiny when freshly fitted onto the drum. But after a short break-in time and regular playing, the sound will quickly improve. A new head also will lift the rim higher. Each time you tune your drum, the head will sit itself lower down on the base and the rim can settle.
In short:New head - high rim, whiny sound.After a break-in time - low rim, nice sound.

Repique de Mão 11'' aluminium, selfie cherry - GopeThe repique de mão is the virtuoso whirlwind in every Pagode round. Musically it may not be a must, but it is always a great enrichment. It brings its very own vibes to a Samba de Mesa and is usually played by experienced players who have Samba in their blood and use the syncopations with great creativity. The repique de mão drives the rhythm and brings an incredible swing to the music, which is mainly created by the contrarhythms that are played with one hand on the outside of the shell.

Aluminium is perfect for all weather conditions, is easy to clean and robust. Gope is known for its lightweight construction and beautiful powder-coated finish.Gope focuses on lightweight construction and uses slightly thinner aluminum for the shells compared to other brands.

The additional tension hooks and reinforcement elements distribute the pressure more evenly across the shell, making even extreme tunings possible. This results in rich bass tones and crisp slaps.

Head 16'' napa / korino
€19.00
Head 16'' korino ( synthetic nappa leather) - GopeNappa or korino heads are multi-ply synthetic layers of artificial leather and nylon. The attack is reduced by the additional layer and the sound becomes warm and bassy. Too many korino heads in a bloco or a bateria will blur the sound. Korino heads sound best when used on a few surdos, but not all. Korino heads are only suitable as batter heads.The construction of the korino on top of the nylon head layer reacts quite sensitively to surdo beaters that are too hard. If the beater head is too hard, the top korino layer will dent and no longer lie flat on the bottom nylon layer, making it unable to produce a consistent tone and causing the head to break. We therefore recommend using only soft or medium-hard but always well-padded beaters on korino heads.

6“ GP3 tamborim head (P3 - 250 Micron: 0,25mm) - GOPE
GP3 heads are thick, single-layered synthetic heads with a saturated sound and very little overtones. They produce a full, strong and almost matt tone due to their thickness and vibration behaviour - thick heads vibrate less than than thin heads. A special feature of the GP3 heads is the distance between the aluminium rim and and the surface of the head which is larger, compared to other brands, meaning that the head will settle well on your instrument shell straight away.Take some time:The life of a head begins with the moment you put it on your drum for the first time. Each time you tune it, the head will fit itself more comfortably onto the rim of shell being the base for the head. Also in terms of sound, time has an effect on every head. New heads often sound a bit whiny when freshly fitted onto the drum. But after a short break-in time and regular playing, the sound will quickly improve. A new head also will lift the rim higher. Each time you tune your drum, the head will sit itself lower down on the base and the rim can settle.
In short:New head - high rim, whiny sound.After a break-in time - low rim, nice sound.

Resonance head or batter head?GP3 heads are ideally used as batter heads. For a resonance head, a thinner option will vibrate stronger and in combination with a GP3 batter head produce a nicer sound.
Give it some time:The life career of a head begins with the moment you put it on your drum for the first time. Each time you tune it, the head will fit itself more comfortably onto the rim of shell being the base for the head. Also in terms of sound, time has an effect on every head. New heads often sound a bit whiny when freshly fitted onto the drum. But after a short break-in time and regular playing, the sound will quickly improve. A new head also will lift the rim higher. Each time you tune your drum, the head will sit itself lower down on the base and the rim can settle.
In short:New head - high rim, whiny sound.After a break-in time - low rim, nice sound.

Hide head 22''
€68.40
Leather head 22'' goat skin with aluminium rim for surdo, alfaia
Information about mounting hide heads:Natural heads tend to twist when they are unmounted due to different air humidity and temperature. When you are ready to put the head on your instrument and see that it is twisted, moisten (not soak!) the head carefully with a kitchen sponge, then put it on a flat surface and push the drum shell in the rim from above. Put your drum loosely back together and wait until the head is dry before putting any tension on it. Let it dry slowly in the air (best overnight), don't use heaters, hairdryers and don't leave it in the sun as it will make the head brittle and prone to tear.
Information for hide heads on aluminium rims:Natural heads tend to twist when unmounted, especially with when temperature and humidity changes. This can happen as well with heads on wood rims as with skins in aluminium rims. The aluminium hoops are grouted in a way that leaves a small open joint gap. This is not a defect nor a broken seam, but a tiny tolerance which is there on purpose so that the head can expand or tighten without damaging the hoop or the head when air moisture changes. If you have received a twisted head with an open gap on the aluminium rim, then that is quite normal and with only a few steps the head will easily fit on your instrument shell: Slightly moisten the head, wait a couple of minutes, then fit it on the shell and put your instrument back together loosely. Only put tension on the head once it has dried completely and in a natural way; this will usually take overnight. As soon as there is tension on the head, wrinkles and the twist will disappear and the head will easily adjust to the shape of the instrument shell. If you have any questions about mounting a head, please contact us.
Purchasing replacement heads:If you are buying a replacement head for your instrument, we advise that you get a head from the same brand as your instrument as they should fit without any trouble. If you buy a head from a different brand, you might find that the fit slightly differs or even doesn't go on the shell well or at all. Please understand that we cannot offer warranty in this case.
Head 14'' Super Nylon
€29.60
Super Nylon high-tec head 14‘’ laminated with Dupont Nomex fibreMedium-thick head made of Dupont Nomex fibre for extra dry, crisp sounds and few overtones. Haptically, the head can be described as somewhere between a coated and a glass fibre head.

The skin is thin enough to convey nice mids and is suitable for the usual Brazilian street Samba and Samba Reggae as well as for modern styles and funky grooves. Nomex paper from Dupont is a heat-resistant, flame-retardant material used in high-performance applications such as electrical insulation and protective clothing.

Tan Tan - bass hand drum with effect varnish #Selfie Cherry
Sitting on the beach or in the park, playing samba. There's no better way, is there? Aluminium instruments are easy to handle and sound a bit sharper than wooden instruments. Hide heads (animal skins) are considered authentic in Brazil, is technically a bit more demanding to play than korino but sounds beautiful and - to be honest: it is quite stylish! The tan tan is the lowest bass drum in Samba de Mesa and replaces the surdo. This model has a compact 12'' diameter with a slightly conical shell and a long resonance body. Gope is known for its lightweight construction, their instruments are pretty handy when you're on the road a lot or on stages. The shell is rather thin-walled, the sound is not quite as heavy as with 14'' instruments. We think it's a fancy little thing!
