Surdo light, Dobra 14" x 45cm, aluminium

Our lightest surdo line for Samba Reggae - Afro Samba!
The 14'' size is also perfect for kids or young sambistas who should not carry too heavy!
The Light surdos by Gope are built with light constructional components. From a musical point of a view you could also call it a compact surdo. If you tried it once - you will never again let go of it! The principle of construction is easy: Save weight! If you dance a lot or your bloco does many choreographies in their shows, or if you like playing your surdo high up above your head doing show elements, or if you simply don´t like carrying too heave, then this ought to be your surdo!
The tension brackes, the hoop and metal elements are all very light, the tension rods are slimmer and therefore lighter as usual. The seam of the body is welded. Welded shells produce a higher and more audible part of shell sound due to producing more constant vibrations. The surdo seems delicate, but does not stand behind its heavier competitors. Of course weight always goes together with stability in some way, but we are happy to tell you that even after many years of experience, Gope´s light concept works very well and has proved to be successful.
