Surdo Axé 18'' x 40 cm - nylon heads and extra large resonance hole for stage mic instalation
18'' dobra surdo for Samba Reggae / Afro Samba Surdo with a short shell and nice bass with short sustain!
The short bodies have their origin in Bahia, where sambistas traditionally dance lots of choreographies and lift the surdos up above their heads for show effects. A shorter shell saves weight and is handier. Also, a short body produces a shorter sustain which is exactly the sound you want when playing Bahia styles.
Timbra surdos look classy and are popular especially for stage gigs. The also have more tension rods and therefore of course weigh a little bit more. This 18'' dobra is all shiny polished with chromed, well manufactured hardware.
A real eyecatcher!

Timbra
In 2010, IZZO managed to pull off a remarkable milestone by lancing their high-end show brand TIMBRA TOP PERCUSSION.
All TIMBRA Samba instruments have been developed in close cooperation with renowned percussionists. The objective was to create convincing series of instruments with great sound, optically outstanding and adecuate for stage gigs. Especially the timbals, made of either wood or aluminium, set new standards with their 16 tuning hooks, extraordinary design and spectacular sound.
TIMBRA builds all kinds of Samba instruments from wood and aluminium surdos, cuicas, rebolos to tantans and timbals. A special eye-catcher was one of the brand's first lines - the Carlinhos Brown Signature Series with timbals and bacurinhas with elaborate colour prints and designs on vinyls. High-quality workmanship, authentic sounds and flashy designs are still the main trademarks of TIMBRA.
