The traditional Portuguese tom is a handcrafted membranophone with a cylindrical resonance shell. The natural drumheads are strained by means of ropes that keep the two drumheads uniformly stretched.
Due to its rhythmic strength and powerful sound, it generally has a strong impact on the audience. This Portuguese bass drum respects the traditional Portuguese construction with an excellent value for money. This is a handcrafted instrument and it may therefore present slight differences in finish when comparing to the pictures here displayed.
