- exotic laminated virola wood shell
- 22 inch head, 45 cm in height
- fine, natural finish
- solid construction
- rugged, well-tested hardware
This Bauer Surdo has an 22" plastic head and is 45 cm deep. The shell is made of exotic laminated virola wood and has a natural finish that lets the beauty of the wood show through. The shallower surdo design (as compared to the 60 cm deep model) is becoming increasingly popular. It can be used to play Samba reggae patterns and the batucada.
The Bauer Surdo is designed and manufactured according to Bauer's high standards for quality. The well-designed, precise tuning hardware allows for efficient tuning of the head. This enables the Bauer Surdo to be adjusted to the range necessary to produce its deep, characteristic sound. All the hardware is built to Bauer Percussion's high standards in their own factory, thus ensuring quality.
The shallower depth makes the drum easier to carry than the full size model. And, since it produces a somewhat lower volume (as compared to the full size model), it is well suited for indoor settings. Additionally, the wood shell produces a somewhat "warmer" sound than the metal-shelled surdos. All the incorporated design attributes contribute to produce the characteristic and authentic surdo sound. This is a professional-class surdo capable of producing the sounds desired by serious drummers and percussionists.
Surdo drummers usually play the drum by hitting one drumhead with one mallet and using the other bare hand to hit the drumhead or muffle the mallet hit. In other styles of Brazilian music, drummers may use two mallets.
In addition to providing the foundation for Brazilian samba music, surdos can be used for other styles of music. Drum set drummers can also incorporate different-sized surdos into their drum kits to produce many new and interesting sounds. Additionally, surdos can be used as the bass drum component in many other percussive arrangements. The possibilities are wide ranging.
Tuning wrench is included.
