{"product_id":"gope-percussion-su2245ye-al-surdo-jaune-22-alu-45cm-profondeur-258869","title":"SU2245YE-AL - 22\" YELLOW ALU SURDO - 45CM DEPTH","description":"\u003ch3\u003eHistorical Context and Positioning Within the Range\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eManufactured in Brazil, this Gope surdo follows the tradition of samba instruments built for the intensity of group playing and the endurance required for outdoor performances. Gope is known for offering surdos optimized for batucada practice, with a constant focus on efficiency: reducing weight without sacrificing projection, tuning stability, and durability. The \"Compact\" (or \"Short\") version is positioned as a particularly relevant choice for mobile groups, long rehearsals, and gigs where carrying comfort becomes as important as sound quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho This Surdo Is For\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis surdo is intended for batucadeiros from \u003cstrong\u003ebeginner to advanced levels\u003c\/strong\u003e who want an instrument that is easy to handle yet serious enough to hold a part over time. Its compact size is perfect for musicians who play standing, move in parades, or seek a more manageable setup without reducing diameter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn terms of styles, it naturally excels in \u003cstrong\u003esamba\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003esamba-reggae\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eAfro-Brazilian\u003c\/strong\u003e, and all street percussion ensembles. Its 22-inch diameter provides a solid foundation in the ensemble, with a presence that remains clear in a full group while maintaining a quick response for dynamic patterns.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeatures and Innovations\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe design emphasizes three key points: \u003cstrong\u003elightness\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003ereliability\u003c\/strong\u003e, and \u003cstrong\u003econtrolled resonance\u003c\/strong\u003e. The 1 mm aluminum shell, painted yellow, is engineered to withstand the demands of transport and frequent performances. The choice of a \u003cstrong\u003ewelded shell\u003c\/strong\u003e (rather than crimped) strengthens the structure over time and contributes to a more homogeneous vibration of the surdo body, helping to maintain a cleaner sound when playing at higher volumes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe hardware consists of \u003cstrong\u003e10 long tension rods\u003c\/strong\u003e, a solid standard for even tension across the diameter, with metal hoops finished in black epoxy that provide rigidity and tuning stability. The presence of \u003cstrong\u003etwo white heads\u003c\/strong\u003e (top and bottom) offers real tuning flexibility: a drier, more controlled response or, conversely, more body and resonance depending on the chosen tension.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSound Characteristics\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAluminum generally imparts a \u003cstrong\u003eclear and projected\u003c\/strong\u003e character, with a \u003cstrong\u003esharp attack\u003c\/strong\u003e and excellent clarity in a group context. On a 22-inch surdo, this translates to a well-present bass with a precise contour that helps the section stay articulate, even when the batucada plays loudly. Projection is a major asset outdoors: the sound \"cuts through\" easily, allowing the player to be heard without unnecessary effort.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe compact depth (45 cm) promotes a more direct playing feel: the response is often perceived as faster, with better-controlled sustain, useful for tight rhythmic figures and intensity changes. The two heads (0.250 mm thickness) allow fine adjustment of the balance between \u003cstrong\u003epunch\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eroundness\u003c\/strong\u003e, and \u003cstrong\u003eresonance\u003c\/strong\u003e: tightening yields a drier, more precise sound; loosening provides more fullness and \"body\" in the bass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:2rem\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"flex:1 1 300px\"\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e22 inches (approximately 56 cm)\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDepth (height)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e45 cm (Short Surdo \/ Compact Surdo)\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e1 mm aluminum\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eyellow paint\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003ewelded shell (not crimped)\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTension rods\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e10 rods of 470 mm (reference GOP-SC-TR470)\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNut reference\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eGOP-SC-SNUT\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHoops (rings)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003emetal\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHoop finish\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eblack epoxy\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"flex:1 1 300px\"\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeads\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e2 white heads\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThickness\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e0.250 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eapproximately 5.33 kg\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Gope Percussion","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54359428661523,"sku":"258869","price":299.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0984\/0872\/6803\/files\/a5abbb14457c0376eb724f90442b33a71500b3d0_GOP_SU2245YE_AL.jpg?v=1787366001","url":"https:\/\/woodbrass.shop\/products\/gope-percussion-su2245ye-al-22-yellow-alu-surdo-45cm-depth-258869","provider":"Woodbrass.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
