The Samba Rio series groups drumheads specially designed for Brazilian percussion and the demanding conditions of Batucada. This "smooth white" model is positioned as a versatile option, offering both control and presence, whether you are looking for an effective striking head or stable resonance.
Target Audience for This Drumhead/Instrument

Sound Characteristics
The non-sanded smooth white coating favors a sharp attack and effective projection, ideal for cutting through a surdo section. The integrated attenuation provides harmonic balance and a sense of control while maintaining the attack power necessary for strong and consistent strikes in Batucada.
