Gope Repique, 10" Aluminum

Description

Gope repique
10” x 30cm
6 tuning lugs
Gope repiques are prized for their sharp, clear, projecting sound, especially for use in samba reggae and Bahian rhythms.  The bearing edges are even and sharp and the drums have nicely machined hardware that allows for accurate tuning.
12″ repiques are common for outdoor use, typically worn with a strap around the waist with flexible sticks or a wood stick. These drums have a prominent voice in the samba reggae rhythms of groups like Olodum and Ile Aiye. They can also be played in Rio style samba.
10″ repiques can also be used outdoor.  They have a higher pitched sound.
Many repiques and other drums from Brazil are available too.  Caixa, tamborim, pandeiro, caixa cases, etc.  Contact me with questions or visit virada drums.com
