These beautiful Wooden nesting Surdos have been specifically designed for serious long-term use in education and they're assembled in LTL's workshops here in the UK.

Large Surdo (maracao) - this is the largest Surdo. Itﾒs the one that gives the primary beat everyone concentrates on. Medium Surdo (resposta) - this Surdo sustains the samba rhythm. Small Surdo (cortador) - this chimes in between the other Surdos, and adds a swing to the rhythm. Caixa -this is what gives character to the samba. Itﾒs always played with two sticks, and has snare cord across the drumhead that gives it a different kind of tone. Repinique - this is the lead instrument used to control the samba played with two sticks or one stick and a hand. Tamborim - the Tamborim gives the punch and the shape to the samba. Agogo / Ego Bell - this has one of the highest tones in the Samba and adds to the melody.Ganza - used to play a rhythm under the rest of the Samba and add body to the overall sound. |

LTL's premium wooden Surdoﾒs are cold-rolled from Candian maple. When they've completed a new Surdo it's allowed to rest for 5 days giving the Napa drum head time to settle before they give it a final tuning. The LTL workshop is a temperature controlled environment, so ensuring that they can accurately tune all the instruments and maintain the highest quality standards. |

The nesting Surdo design is not only great for minimising storage, it also gives protection to the instruments and ensures a minimum amount of pressure is placed on the heads. Be sure to keep the kit dry and away from extremes of temperature. |
