Ultralight repinique 12'' x 30 cm with 7 rods and black hardware
Looking for a lightweight repinique with unique features? This model offers 7 tension rods, placing it right between the usual 6 or 8-rod designs. The result? Excellent tuning flexibility with higher tension potential, all while staying impressively lightweight.
The classic 12'' size makes it perfect for both Rio Samba and Samba Reggae. Its aluminum shell ensures a durable yet lightweight build, while the epoxy-coated hardware adds extra robustness and longevity.
Another standout feature: Gope uses the same slim, compact, yet stable brackets found on their ultralight surdos. This innovative design significantly reduces the overall weight, making the repinique easy to handle even during long rehearsals and performances.
The shell is welded at the seam, enhancing its acoustic properties. Unlike folded seams, a welded shell vibrates more freely, resulting in a richer, fuller tone with pronounced resonance.
Upgrade your percussion game with this ultralight repinique, the perfect choice for long parades, kids, young sambistas, or anyone seeking a lightweight instrument.

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.
