Aluminium timbal 14'' x 90 cm with 16 hooks, sunshine yellow, Gope
#Selfie - effect colours from Gope! Stylish powder coating with a lot of bling for your stage and street gigs! Gope uses thinner steel sheet which saves some weight and makes the instrument perfect for parades and outdoor gigs where you wear the timbal on a strap. Naturally it will weigh a bit more than a timba with less hardware but full sound and a smart look totally make up for that!
Timbaleiro trend from Salvador da Bahia: timbals with 16 tension hooks can be pitched up really high! The hooks spread the pression equally on the shell of the drum, like this your shell will not suffer any damage, even with the highest tuning. Nice, deep bass sound and crispy slaps are a nice to have with aluminium instruments, the whole sound has the typical sharp note. Aluminium instruments are pretty easy to maintain, weather doesn't harm them much and they are robust. The seam of the body is welded. Welded shells produce a higher and more audible part of shell sound due to more constant vibration. The hardware matches the color of the shell, as is the comfort rim. Keep in mind - more hardware means more weight!

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.
