Introducing the Izzo surdo 20'' x 40cm
Renowned for its deep and resonant sound, the surdo drum plays a fundamental role in the rhythmic foundation of traditional Brazilian samba music.
Crafted using lightweight aluminium, this surdo drum combines great portability with weather-resistant durability, making it a dependable, long-lasting choice for classrooms, samba bands, and musicians on the go.
The surdo drum
The surdo is played in a variety of ways, most often with one soft padded beater and an open hand to dampen the sound. Occasionally, it’s played with two beaters in either hand, or it can be played with a soft beater on the drumhead and a hard drumstick striking the side or shell of the drum. The tonal range of this drum makes it a perfect instrument for teaching young musicians about music from Brazil.
The Izzo brand
The Izzo brand represents authentic Brazilian percussion and is widely regarded as one of the top instrument manufacturers in Brazilian Samba. Hailing from Sao Paulo, Izzo have been producing a wide range of high quality instruments for over 60 years, and we are proud to say we are the sole importers of Izzo products.
