€220.00*
Surdo 20‘’ x 60 cm - Surdo with tall aluminium shellThe tall 60 cm surdos are popular because they sound longer than short surdos. The longer shell gives them a powerful sound and more sustain, which is popular in many music styles. A 20" x 60 cm surdo brings quite a bit of bass to your batería and is ideal as a surdo 1 or surdo 2.Typical Izzo:Superlight aluminium shell, smart looking matt brushed alu finish, chromed hardware, a top construction made for bateria street use on outdoor- / street gigs, parades and stage performances. Izzo makes quality percussion instruments with neat details, clean threads and low weight. The head contact area is accurately flattened out. The matt aluminium look is not only visually catching but also keeps the price low as its production is cheaper than polished aluminium.Heads:Izzo surdos come with a thick P3 nylon playing head and a thinner P2 resonance head - ideal for authentic sound! This combination is Kalango-exclusive!P3 (super grossa) = batter headP2 (grossa) = resonance head

Surdo 20" x 50 cm - hide heads with aluminium ring on both sidesOriginal Rio Style Samba surdo - authentic Rio style sound! The RIO line surdos with its 50 cm shells are shorter than the former 60 cm standard. This reduces weight, doesn't particularly affect the sound in any way and, conveniently, shorter surdos are also easier to handle, to store, to transport - and they're lighter - yay! 50 cm surdos can be seen more and more often in Rio's Samba schools.Tips for happy surdos:Natural skins sound best with the right mallets (hard, unpadded).Tune slowly, especially at the beginning!You may need to retune while playing, this works best if you play with the nuts pointing up and use a crank tuning key.Always loosen the skins after playing.When storing in dry air or during hot-temperature periods, check the skins and loosen them if necessary, as they can tighten considerably.Important note for mounting hide heads:During production, natural skins are mounted damp on a wooden or aluminium ring. When drying, the skins contract, which often causes the ring to warp. If you mount a new skin on your surdo, it will usually be necessary to moisten the skin with a sponge or cloth (not soaking wet, just damp!) so that it stretches again and can be mounted easily. Put the skin on without applying tension and leave it to dry overnight, ideally and without any aids, so that it can adapt to the shape of your surdo. This will prevent it from becoming brittle and you will be able to enjoy your instrument for a long time.
