Surdo Light 22''x40cm
€275.00*
Surdo light Fundo 22''x40cm aluminium HW chromed
Our lightest Samba Reggae surdos from Gope!Ultra-short shell, crispy, authentic Bahia sound for fat bass sound on street parades or stage gigs. Gope welds its seams instead of folding or riveting them, so the sound can swing even better and unfold more shell-based sound. Lightweight components make this surdo an absolute favourite - minimal weight with high stability and big time bass. The compact Surdo is especially suitable for surdo players who have overhead choreographies, who lift up the surdo with one hand and do a lot of show dancing. But also those who don't want to carry heavy - young samba players or candidates with back problems - will love this model. Once hooked, you'll never want to play a different surdo.The Light line doesn't have quite as much volume as models with thick and heavy shells, but here the emphasis is clearly on the 'extra light'. With thick heads you can add a lot of quality to the Light line surdos. The construction principle is simple: save weight, big sound and a stable, versatile street and stage instrument.This model has a chromed rim.
Our tip for big bass:Replace the ex-factory drumhead with a thicker one, e.g. a GP3, a hydraulic head, a double-ply or an inverted korino head. Thicker skins vibrate less, thicken the attack and bring more sound mass into mix.For the high voices the thin ex-factory head might be just the right head. It can be tuned to exactly the right level with partial masking, damper gel pads or foam rings.
Surdo 20''x60cm
€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 Axé 18''x40cm
€210.00*
Surdo Axé 18‘’ x 40 cm - nylon heads on both sides for fat beats! 18'' surdo with short shell and crisp bass! This surdo axé with 40cm aluminium shell from Timbra is a short and light surdo made of medium- thickness aluminium with a powerful sound. Timbra is a show brand that builds Samba instruments for both stage performances and blocos, combining sturdy components, well designed hardware and a powerful sound. This model was specially developed for Kalango as it is a lighter version of the stage model with less hardware. It is perfect for use in blocos. Strong sound and solid construction, good and sturdy head supports on the shell rims and classic hardware with a fairly light weight. The short shell has its origins in Bahia, where surdos are traditionally used for dancing a lot of choreographies and where they are even played high above the head. A shorter shell saves weight and is easier to handle. The short shell also means that the sustain is shorter (= dry sound), which is exactly what you should be looking for in Bahia styles.

Surdo RIO 20''x50cm Hide heads
€237.00*
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.

A half-height surdo 10cm shorter than the 60cm standard surdos - how would you even notice that? Believe us - you will. Sound-wise, there won't be much of difference. For Samba de Enredo fans, a few hundred grams are often a great relief, especially if you are out walking long parades or putting in long rehearsal hours. And maybe the surdo will now fit better in your car or the storage in your rehearsal space Not to mention how just a little less weight will feel when you got your surdo in a bag on your back riding a bike to rehearsal. Besides, you will thank the god of Samba no later than at your next 4-hour carnival parade for not carrying the same 6kg steel sheet model your band mate has.The light line surdos from Gope are built with lightweight hardware components and thin aluminium sheet. Musically speaking, you could also call them compact surdos. Once you have tried them, you will never let them go again. The design principle is quite clear: save weight without sacrificing sound. If you do a lot of parades, dance choreographies or if you simply don't like to carry a heavy surdo, then an intermediate size model is a worthwhile idea.The lugs, the rim and flat rim elements are all of lightweight construction, the tension hoops are slim and light. The shell is welded at the seam, which gives the body a higher vibration component in the sound, as the shell is not interrupted by a folded seam.Tip:Gope surdos come with thin P2 heads from the factory. Especially for larger sizes or if you don't like overtones, we recommend getting a thicker superior head to play on (P3 or any double-layered). Take your time when tuning and breaking the drum in, so that the heads can stretch well and settle on the rim of the shell. This way you will get the best sound out of your surdo.

Surdo Light 18''x40cm
€239.00*
Surdo light Dobra 18''x40cm aluminium HW chromed
Our lightest Samba Reggae surdos from Gope!Ultra-short shell, crispy, authentic Bahia sound for fat bass sound on street parades or stage gigs. Gope welds its seams instead of folding or riveting them, so the sound can swing even better and unfold more shell-based sound. Lightweight components make this surdo an absolute favourite - minimal weight with high stability and big time bass. The compact Surdo is especially suitable for surdo players who have overhead choreographies, who lift up the surdo with one hand and do a lot of show dancing. But also those who don't want to carry heavy - young samba players or candidates with back problems - will love this model. Once hooked, you'll never want to play a different surdo.The Light line doesn't have quite as much volume as models with thick and heavy shells, but here the emphasis is clearly on the 'extra light'. With thick heads you can add a lot of quality to the Light line surdos. The construction principle is simple: save weight, big sound and a stable, versatile street and stage instrument.This model has a chromed rim.
Our tip for big bass:Replace the ex-factory drumhead with a thicker one, e.g. a GP3, a hydraulic head, a double-ply or an inverted korino head. Thicker skins vibrate less, thicken the attack and bring more sound mass into mix.For the high voices the thin ex-factory head might be just the right head. It can be tuned to exactly the right level with partial masking, damper gel pads or foam rings.
