Sized optimally at 22" x 20", the LP Surdo yields the required bottom-end to underpin the Carnaval dance/march. Note that a special radius top promotes hand comfort and access to the top head. Ten tuning rods positioned below rim level to add to comfort and enable stable tensioning. A leg set is included.Brazilian percussion reflects the history, society, culture, and geography of a massive segment of the South American population. In one sense Brazilian rhythms are complex and diverse; in another, they stroll along more unfettered than, say, Cuban music, which must adhere to the clave.The LP Rio Brazilian Percussion Line adheres to the highest LP standards - authenticity, broad tonality, and good projection. And innovation, as always, is the guiding spirit.
