Timbal 14'' x 70 cm - aluminiumCompact street timbal made of aluminium sheet, ideal for kids, younger or shorter sambistas.The sound of aluminium timbals is sharper than that of wooden timbals. Great sound for good vibes in your bloco, and aluminium is resistant to weather conditions, making it ideal for street gigs and parades. The 70 cm height is a practical compact size for smaller sambistas or for kids and teenagers. The shell is fitted with a comfort rim.The aluminium is brushed for a matt finish and has excellent sound characteristics.
Timbal 14'' x 90 cm - aluminium with 16 hooksIn the last couple of years, the Axé pop-bands but also the street blocos have stuck to the trend of constantly pitching up their timbals as high as they possibly could. To keep up with the high technical requirements somebody clever came up with the idea to spread the power that presion produces on the instrument by installing more tension hooks. So now there are timbals with 16 (!!) hooks. Like this it is possible to tune up the nylon heads to a maximum without risking a deshaped drum. The power by pression acting on the shell through the tension hooks is spread on the body equally while the tuning remains at a maximum and the drum stays physically stable.Izzo's 16-hook timbal has fantastcally sharp open tones, whipping slaps and deep and strong bass sounds in the center of the head. The slightly higher weight is easily compensated through the modern sound qualities.An outstanding instrument!

14“ P3 head (P3 - 250 Micron: 0,25mm) - IZZO Thick or thin?P3 heads are thicker (P2='grossa'; P3='supergrossa') than P2 heads, which is why they sound more saturated, they have less overtones and transmit an almost matt tone because they vibrate less than a thin head. The thickness of a head has only little influence in how long it may last. A thicker head might last a few gigs longer, but the difference is probably not to be mentioned. Resonance head or batter head?P3 heads are ideal batter heads. Combine a P3 batter head on your charuto or surdo de mor with a P2 resonance head. It is also a good option for timbal heads. 14'' caixas or snare drums sometimes prefer the coated version and the really thin resonance head instead of a P2.Take 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.

Head 14'' goat skin - aluminium rimHide head for surdo, alfaia, rebolo, tantanInformation 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.

24'' hide head on aluminium ringImportant information for fitting natural goatskin heads:Natural skins tend to twist when unmounted since the manufacturers moisten them before pulling them onto a wooden or aluminium rim. When drying off, the ring naturally deshapes a little. When leaving the high humidity in Brazil and arriving to our dry European climate with low humidity and room heating, the skin twists even more. This is a normal irregularity of natural products and no damage! You can easily fit the head on your drum by moistening (not soaking!) the inner part - not the ring - carefully with a regular kitchen sponge or cloth. Pull it over the drum shell and let it dry slowly overnight by air. Don´t force it by using a heater or hairdryer or exposing it to the sun, this will only make the head brittle and prone to tear. Like this, you will be able to enjoy your goat skin head for a long time!Information for hide heads on aluminium rims:Natural heads tend to twist when unmounted, especially with when temperature and humidity changes.

Timbal 14‘’ x 80 cm - crisp street timbal sound in a compact intermediate size80cm high shells are the perfect intermediate size between the 90cm standard timbal and the short 70cm timbal.Ideal if you are looking for a compact instrument without having to compromise on sound. The diameter is 14‘’ - the same as the full-size timbals, except that the shell is slightly shorter. In contrast to wooden timbals, aluminium always sounds a little sharper and punchier. Crisp slaps, powerful open tones and rich basses characterise this compact instrument. With an aluminium shell, you don't have to worry about wind and rain, even during a carnival parade. With 6 hooks, the timbal is more suitable for regular tuning and not excessively high pitches, but it has less hardware than timbals with many hooks and therefore weighs considerably less. Well built, crisp sound, robust and can be used in a variety of styles.
Timbal 14‘’ x 80 cm - aluminium with 16 tension rods - crisp street timbal sound in a compact intermediate sizeThe perfect intermediate size between the 90cm standard timbal and the short 70cm timbal.This 80cm timbal is the ideal size for you if you are looking for a compact timbal without having to compromise on sound. The diameter is 14‘’, the same as the taller 90cm timbals, only the shell is slightly shorter. In contrast to wooden timbals, aluminium always sounds a little sharper and punchier. Timbals with 16 tension rods can be tuned really high, the high number of hooks distribute the forces evenly across the shell. Rich and crisp slaps, powerful open tones and full basses characterise this compact instrument. With an aluminium shell, you don't have to worry about rainy weather, even during a carnival parade.Many Axé pop bands as well as traditional blocos have been following the trend of tuning timbals extremely high for years now. More tension hooks transfer the high forces generated when pitching the instrument very high to the shell. This invention paved the way for this trend: The shell is built for extremely high tunings that could not be reached with a more traditional timbal.More material (tension hooks, reinforcing elements) naturally also adds weight, but at 80cm you save a few grams thanks to the shorter shell.Crisp, high sound, robust and stylish to play in a variety of styles.

Repique de Mão 10''A great enrichment for every Pagode round, highly appreciated and always very welcome - the repique de mão is the cherry on the cake of any Samba de mesa! It is a musical VIP, as it brings in its very own energy. If played virtuosic you will not believe your ears. Nor will you be able to stay seated - its rhythm pushes and produces an incredible swing, above all by its contra rhythms which are played with one hand on the outside of the shell.

With one hand you play the typical Partido Alto rhythms whilst the other hand gives contra with the complementary rhythms. The rhythmic contruct is percussive at a high grade and - typical Brazilian - most of the beats are placed somewhere offbeat. The swing will let you leap to your feet wanting to dance!The 10'' repique de mão by Izzo is made of shiny polished inox, the functional comfort rim is chromed.

6“ P2 tamborim head (P2 - 190 micron: 0,19mm)
P2 heads are thinner (P2='grossa'; P3='supergrossa') than P3 heads, which is why they sound lighter, they have more overtones and transmit sound easier because they vibrate stronger than a thick head.The thickness of a head has only little influence in how long it may last. Some percussionists play a thin head just as long as a thicker one.The life career of a head begins with the moment you put it on your drum for the first time.

Thin or thick?P2 heads are thinner (P2='grossa'; P3='supergrossa') than P3 heads, which is why they sound lighter, they have more overtones and transmit sound easier because they vibrate stronger than a thick head. The thickness of a head has only little influence in how long it may last. Some percussionists play a thin head just as long as a thicker one. 24'' heads of this type also have stronger aluminium rims for higher durability and a better stability.
Resonance head or batter head?You can use P2 heads for both. They are suitable for batter- or resonance sides your surdo.
Take 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.
P3 head for 18'' surdo (P3 - 250 Micron: 0,25mm) - IZZO
Thick or thin?P3 heads are thicker (P2='grossa'; P3='supergrossa') than P2 heads, which is why they sound more saturated, they have less overtones and transmit an almost matt tone because they vibrate less than a thin head. The thickness of a head has only little influence in how long it may last. A thicker head might last a few gigs longer, but the difference is probably not to be mentioned.
Resonance head or batter head?P3 heads are ideally used as batter heads. You can combine a P3 batter head perfectly with a P2 resonance head.

Korino Head 12'' by Izzo – perfect for rebolos and tan tansThe 12'' Korino head by Izzo is made from double-ply synthetic materials - artificial nappa leather and nylon. This construction delivers a warm, bassy sound and is especially popular for hand drums like rebolos and tan tans.Important: Korino heads are sensitive to hard beaters. Using beaters with insufficient padding can cause permanent dents in the head, affecting its sound quality. We strongly recommend using only soft beaters with plenty of padding to ensure the head's durability and achieve the best possible sound.The 12'' Korino head is the perfect choice for anyone looking for a warm sound and reliable drumhead for their Rebolo or Tan Tan.
20'' korino head by IZZO:Nappa or korino heads are multi-ply synthetic layers of artificial leather and nylon. This construction reacts quite sensitive to beaters which are too hard. The head will break if you use beaters with too little padding. We recommend that for korino heads you use only soft or medium beaters with plenty of padding.

Hide head 10'' - aluminium rimInformation about mounting hide heads:Natural heads tend to twist when they are unmounted since the manufacturers moisten the skins before pulling them over the wooden or aluminium rim. So when they dry again, the head twists. When leaving the high humidity in Brazil and arriving to the dry European climate (low humidity and room heating), the heads tend to twist even more. Please notice that this is no damage or irregularity! Before mounting the head please moisten (not soak!) it carefully with a kitchen sponge etc, pull it over the drum shell and then let it dry slowly in the air! Don't force dry a hide hed with a heater, hairdryer or 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.
18'' aluminium zabumba for authentic Forró and a north-east-Brazilian dance night out
The zabumba is the heartbeat of any Forró-, Baião-, Xote- or Xaxado ensemble. Just like the surdo in Samba it plays the base and provides the pulse with its pushy rhythms and makes you wanting to jump up and dance with its syncopated beats. The playing technique is a little different: the upper head - which is fitted with a nylon head for a stronger attack - is played with a short, padded mallet, whilst the resonance head is played with a thin whip creating the typical contrast with contra rhythms. A good zabumba player knows how to make you dance even if you are not much of dancer. Always on his side - the triangle, the accordion and a singer. An 18'' zabumba is a great medium size and offers plenty of possibilities within an ensemble.Izzo produces well-made, solid and high-quality instruments at fair and affordable prices.What are you waiting for - grab your dance shoes or your za-bum-ba!

Goatskin head 12'' - aluminium rimInformation 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.

10'' Cuica with inox shell
A 'fully-grown' cuica can fit in any bateria. The larger the resonating body is, the more audible you will be in larger percussion groups. Larger diameter cuicas can also be tuned lower and therewith produce a wider range of tones, which is especially nice if you want to use a wider sound spectrum e.g. in a Pagode or in smaller groups.The head with the little bamboo stick is mounted and ready to play, you might find it helpful to sand the dry bamboo stick a tad thinner with some sandpaper. This makes the head more responsive, keep in mind that the stick also becomes more sensitive when it's thinner.The body is made of stainless steel, the hardware is chromed, rustic and well made instrument. The Cuica is a lovable, difficult to play but very fun instrument, which is very common in Brazil and is becoming more and more popular outside the country as well.Something different!
