It features a shallow body and is played with a mallet, producing a deep, resonant sound. The drum usually has a single drumhead, which is either made of animal skin or synthetic materials, and it often has tuning lugs for adjusting the pitch. Surdos are commonly used in samba music and are integral to Brazilian carnival rhythms.
