IZZO Cuica 10" stainless steel shell, goat skin head

Deep, rich vocal resonance with serious low-end depth. The IZZO 10" Stainless Steel Cuíca offers a larger chamber and wider skin surface, giving players a broader tonal spectrum with deeper bass sweeps and warm, full-bodied pitch bends.

Made in São Paulo, Brazil, this 10-inch model is ideal for drummers seeking a punchier, lower-register cuíca voice that grounds small-group pagode circles and stands out in full baterias. The combination of a heavy-duty stainless steel shell and a premium natural goat skin head allows for deep pitch manipulation while holding up against rigorous performance and humidity changes.
