The bass drum played with a single beater in one
hand alternating with the other hand used directly on the skin
to damp/control the sound.
There are three groups of surdos with tuned to different pitches:
The 1st Surdo gives the main (second stronger) samba beat or marcação.
The 2nd surdo is the counterpoint to the 1st surdo. The 3rd surdo
improvises and plays around in between the other two.
