Timbra Surdo 18" Bahía Black

A wonderful surdo with chrome hardware and an air vent to achieve exceptional sound and an incredible appearance.
Short-depth surdos originate from Bahia, where sambistas dance with a lot of choreography and sometimes lift the surdo high above their heads. For this reason, a short surdo is lighter and easier to handle. It also affects the sound since the sustain is shorter due to having less resonance shell.

Timbra instruments are gems and have been rated by some of the best Brazilian percussionists as the "Ferrari" of Brazilian instruments.

About Timbra

Years ago, Izzo launched its new flagship brand: Timbra Top Percussion. These Timbra series instruments were developed in close cooperation with several elite percussionists such as Carlinhos Brown.
The goal was to create live performance instruments with exceptional sound quality but also spectacular design. Right now, many of the world's biggest batucadas use this brand for its quality and design.
