Why Choose the Izzo P2 Drum Head

The P2 series nylon head is on the lighter end of the thickness scale, delivering a crisp attack and vibrant overtones—perfect for authentic samba rhythms. Whether you're replacing worn-out heads or building a backup set for emergencies, these drum heads offer reliable tuning and tonal integrity.

Izzo’s heritage in Brazilian percussion means you're investing in quality and tradition. With proper care and tuning, these heads can support high-energy performances for years to come.

Tuning Tip: Always tighten nuts in opposite pairs and adjust gradually for balanced tension. Start with your largest surdo (e.g., 18") and tune each subsequent drum to a higher pitch for optimal ensemble blend.
