Surdos traditionally provide the basic backbeat in samba bands, and this aluminium drum is designed for playing on the move or standing still, making them ideal for street performances, outdoor festivals and school music programmes. Clear drum skins on the top allow easy transport and storage, while the included foam feet protect floors during seated play. A strap (not included) can be added for hands-free mobility, letting every rhythm come alive wherever you perform.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003ePlay seated or standing\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFoam rubber feet are supplied for seated playing, protecting the floor and preventing damage to the drum. You are also able to play standing or on the move by connecting a strap (sold separately).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease note, these drums are not provided with straps or beaters. If required, they must be purchased separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSamba instrument care and maintenance\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith the correct care and attention, these instruments should provide musical satisfaction and energetic performances for many years. Here are just a few tips to keep your samba gear in optimal condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eBefore and after playing\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe recommend wiping the drums and beaters down with a damp cloth, as well as inspecting the tuning adjusters on each drum to check for any loose nuts. As a part of this process, you can also monitor the tension of the heads. If you find that an adjuster has come loose or a head seems slack, loosen off the entire head to thumb-tight and then re-tune using the included mini spanner. The best way to do this evenly is to tune opposite pairs, and the following diagram will give you the correct order in which to tune various sizes of surdo, caixa, repinique and tamborim:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe schematic above demonstrates the correct order for tightening the nuts onto the hooks of a Surdo. This way the tension is spread most evenly. Start with all the nuts just finger tight and then tighten each nut in turn by half a turn (starting with nut number 1, then 2, then 3 etc.). When you've tightened all the nuts, check the tuning. If a higher pitch is needed, repeat the process (again starting with nut number 1) by a quarter turn at a time and carry on until you're happy with the sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;\"\u003e\n\u003ciframe style=\"display:block;margin:0 auto;padding:20px; border:4px solid #1b9b44;\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ybbPKaRFK_M?si=sZQjR7zLdfMuZb6G\" title=\"NUVO Toot: Detailed Repair Instructions\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Izzo","offers":[{"title":"A1","offer_id":57280913670531,"sku":"IZ16072","price":149.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"SO","offer_id":58130236244355,"sku":"IZ16072_SO","price":129.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2858\/8212\/files\/IZ16072_1_757c1872-a9f2-4cd1-a93c-0d86d5086f1f.jpg?v=1769786640","url":"https:\/\/www.chamberlainmusic.com\/products\/izzo-iz16072-street-surdo-16-inch","provider":"Chamberlain Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
