A samba drum from TDSounds, despite its reasonable price, is top of the range professional kit, sourced from the major suppliers to the baterias of the samba schools of Rio de Janeiro. We source other brazilian drums from craftsmen and artisans working in Rio de Janeiro and other parts of Brazil. 

Whether buying for yourself, your samba band or a school samba group, you can be confident that any Brazilian samba drum bought from TDSounds will be authentic and long lasting and will sound like a Brazilian musical instrument should.

(Please note that surdos and repiniques have skins at both ends, and if you find one with a single head it will not sound like a samba drum, whatever label has been given to it by its manufacturers)

If you need any help or advice, please call us; we love to talk about samba and samba drums.
