The \u003cstrong\u003e8-tension rod hardware\u003c\/strong\u003e ensures even tightening and precise tuning adjustments, from very low tension for the main beat to a more mid-range pitch to interact with other surdos in the section. The tension hoops provide a comfortable grip for free-hand techniques and guarantee secure contact with the drumhead.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVersatile, this 20\" easily fits standard replacement drumheads and can be played with \u003cstrong\u003esurdo mallets\u003c\/strong\u003e or softer beaters depending on the desired sound.
