This drum is a Brazilian Samba Surdo 14” x 20” (50cm) Alumínio Timbalada made by Gope, renowned and highly regarded manufacturers of samba production. This model, BAL5014, is crafted from premium aluminum, ensuring durability and a rich, resonant sound that captures the essence of samba. Measuring at 50cm in diameter and 14 inches in height, this surdo drum is perfect for both aspiring and professional musicians alike. The glossy single ply drumhead enhances the overall tone and provides a delightful playing experience. With six tuning rods, you have the flexibility to adjust the sound to fit any musical style
The Gope 14" x 20" Aluminium Surdo is a lightweight, Brazilian-made bass drum designed primarily for samba drumming and street parades. Gope is well-regarded for producing some of the lightest surdos on the market, achieved through a welded (rather than crimped) aluminium shell and lightweight hardware.
The Gope 14" x 20" Aluminium Surdo is currently difficult to find in stock at major UK-specific retailers and usually would need to be sourced through international specialist shops that ship to the UK.
KEY FEATURES: + Ultralight Construction: Built with thin aluminium sheets and lightweight components, making it ideal for long parades and choreography. + Enhanced Resonance: The shell is welded at the seam, which allows for higher vibration and a richer tone compared to folded seams. + Versatile Sound: Typically comes with thin factory heads. (A thicker head can be used if a deeper sound with fewer overtones is preferred.) + Hardware: 6 tuning rods allow for easy handling and tuning.
CONDITION: Well used, but in good, working condition. Light scratches and minor dents. The bottom head has a couple of small dents.
I am selling other drum gear, including more samba percussion. Do have a look. 👀
SHIPPING: The drum will be sent well-packed and protected, and fully insured, via YODEL.
