LP Rio Percussion Surdo Mallet LP3048M

The LP Rio Percussion Surdo Mallet LP3048M is designed specifically for the deep, driving bass drum of Brazilian samba -- the surdo. The large, soft head produces the warm, booming thud that anchors the samba groove, with enough mass to generate serious volume from large surdo drums without over-stressing the head. The handle length and weight balance give you control over both accented beats and muted tones.

Whether you're playing first, second, or third surdo in a samba battery, this mallet gives you the sound and feel the music demands. The construction is durable enough for outdoor carnival conditions, and the design keeps your technique honest by responding naturally to different stroke pressures. A specialist tool for a specialist instrument.
