Agogô - product guide

Big bells produce deep tones, small ones produce high tones. High tones can be heard better within the context of a whole percussion group, but for some specific styles of music i.e. Ijexà, the deep tones are preferred.So your perception of the right sound is essential for the choice of the right agogô.

The characteristic clicksound produced when pressing together the single bells can only be achieved with a double agogô. Nevertheless, the triple and quadruple-agogôs are also used a lot, since you can play the pretty melodies on them which are typical for various Samba schools.

The most common tuning is the fourth (the interval of a police siren). Not as common but no less beautifull is a third. Most Brazilian-made agogôs are not uniformly tuned, which produces its own, charming and very individual character! The quadruple agogôs from Imperio Serrano are the best proof! Several dissonant bells played together create the authentic and typical Rio style.

The coating of the surface either with chrome or lacquer hardly has any effect on the tuning of the agogô. It´s more a matter of personal optical gusto and environmental consciousness. When making your choice between chrome and lacquer you should notice that chrome plating produces highly hazardous waste which cannot be recycled!

Almost all agogôs you can get are made out of steelsheet, which are commonly coated with lacquer or chrome to protect them against rust. The thickness of the material is crucial for the tone - thin sheets produce a clear and open tone, thicker sheets are more long-living - and durability of the bell.Stainless steel is a high quality material with a therefore higher price. It does not have to be coated, is very durable and cannot rust!

Cuica 09''x28cm Selfie red
9" Cuica – great all-round size for bateria & Pagode, ready to play, Gope Selfie color line, powder-coatedThe 9" Cuica is a popular size in Brazil – an instrument that has its place as well in a bateria as in a small Pagode setting. The lightweight aluminum shell offers a well-balanced feel and clear resonance without being too heavy, while the powder-coated finish – including the tension rim – adds durability and a sleek look.The natural skin and gambito stick is already mounted and ready to play – just unpack, tune carefully, and start grooving! This cuica delivers the lively, expressive sound that makes Samba, Pagode, and many Brazilian rhythms so much more fun!Cuiqueiro*a Tip:If the skin feels hard to activate, gently sanding the embedded bamboo stick thinner while dry with fine sandpaper can help. This makes the skin respond more easily, though the stick also becomes more delicate. To sand it, loosen the skin, hold the stick’s tip with one hand, and carefully sand with the other. Using 2–3 different grits works well. Preparing spare sticks in advance makes the process easier when replacing them.

Caixa de Guerra Tarol 14''x10cm

Caixa de Guerra Tarol 14''x10cm
Caixa for Samba Reggae, 14'' x 10 cm – Aluminium, GopeSamba Reggae like in Salvador! This caixa is a bit different from the standard ones – it has a slimmer shell, which is usually a few centimeters taller in other models. The result? Less sustain, giving you a crisp, lighter sound that fits perfectly into Samba Reggae rhythms, and the reduced weight makes it a great choice for long parades or performances.The shell is made of aluminum with a welded seam and snare wires that are permanently engaged. Unlike a standard drum kit snare, which often has a mechanism to disengage the wires for quieter moments, Samba caixas are designed with the snare wires fixed in place for a continuous resonance that defines the style. Thanks to the welded construction, the metal vibrates more freely, giving the sound a full, rich resonance.The hardware is slim but sturdy, inspired by Gope’s popular lightweight surdos, which helps keep the instrument light without sacrificing durability.If you’re after a caixa that’s easy to carry, sounds crisp, and works perfectly for Samba Reggae, this one from Gope is definitely worth a look!
