Brazil is one of the most popular for the carnival festivals where thousands parade the streets of the Rio De Janeiro dancing to raucous samba rhythms. Samba's interlacing rhythms are made up of different drums and the samba rhythm is the Surdu, a large bass drum that keeps an even pace as if it were meant to walk to.
Two Surdu are tuned to different notes and highlight the downbeats of the measure. A third Surdu will play rhythms between the first two Surdu beats that are distinct to individual samba styles.
Samba Drumming
The Samba is one of the most popular Latin styles to play. The main reason for this is the speed and energy of the groove. The Samba is played at an upbeat tempo that is very easy to dance to. Samba is one of the most common and popular forms of Afro-Brazillian music and is a national symbol of Brazil. The rhythm is fun ad playful, whether played or danced to.This double-headed bass drum is the most familiar of all of the samba instruments, with its deep 'doom' sound providing the fundamental beat of the samba rhythm.
The style of drumming is very interesting because it is so different to the way with drumming styles not the focus to the song but help to song to keep a static beat or tempo.
