Surdo de Terceira or Repique Mor 16'' x 55 cm - aluminium
Surdo: The high surdos are more commonly found in the Rio Style samba. Due to the longer shell, they have a punchy sound and produce more sustain, which is exactly what the sound is supposed to be like. The 16'' size has a slightly shorter shell due to its smaller diameter (compared to the 60cm of larger diameter surdos). Light and compact instrument, which makes the surdo particuarly attractive for kids and school groups. Matt aluminium finish and chromed hardware, sturdy quality and perfect for outdoor use. This surdo size can also be used as repique mor!
Repique Mor:
This size can also be used as a repique mor, simply tune it a little higher and you're all set.
Izzo produces instruments in top workmanship with clean threading and low weight. The rim of the shell is neatly flattened so the head lies evenly on the drum. The matt aluminium looks stunning and also keeps the price low at the same time as it is cheaper to manufacture than a shiny polished finish.
Heads:
Izzo surdos come with a strong P3 nylon superior head and a thinner P2 resonance head, providing ideal conditions for good and authentic sound.
The combination of the thicker P3-superior head and the thinner P2-resonance head is Kalango-exclusive and especially produced only for us!
P3 (super grossa) = batter head
P2 (grossa) = resonance head
Customer reviews for "Surdo / Repique Mor 16''x55cm aluminium"
"Izzo"
High-quality instruments for Rio Samba and Samba Reggae, which are especially popular and proven in schools! For quite some years now, instrument builder IZZO remains among the top brands of Brazilian Samba percussios. It has been a while that IZZO instruments from São Paulo were rather simple percussion instruments which were very popular in Brazil due to their good price range.
Then they began to constantly increase their standard of Samba instruments until they reached a top-class level. By now they have become a serious manufacturer with a wide range of very well manufactured instruments which are known throughout the international market.
IZZO achieved a special coup when in 2010 they lanced their top brand TIMBRA. TIMBRA instruments were 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.
Today IZZO is completely in the league of the old-established traditional brands of Samba instruments.
