Gruv-X Percussion Used X-Click Mundo cascara Maple / Copper GRVMN-NS

The Gruv-X Mundo This used shop display model has a small dent – see pix w/ tape/arrow – at the bottom of the interior in the copper. The copper ply has also lifted very slightly near the dent.  This was probably dropped at one time as these are otherwise fairly indestructable. It is sold as-is and still plays/sounds great. World Percussion Accessory Mundo means World in Spanish Mundo is an instrument that is meant to be the sound of a wooden shell and the side of a metal Timbale, mixed together. The most common rhythm in Afro-Cuban music called, the Cascara is a Palito rhythm (with small sticks, usually played on the side of the Female (Larger) timbale. When Timbales are not available, drummers often play this on the side of their floor tom. Of course, this lends itself to finish damage on the drum and not quite achieving the Metallic tone of the Timbale shell. Through extensive compositional analysis and prototype testing by Gruv-X designers and artists, the combination of American Rock Maple and Copper, was used to achieve this unique tone. The Mundo mounts with the proprietary Gruv-X, Mono-Mounts made famous by its predecessor the X-Click and fits on every sized drum, from a 10 in. 6-lug to an 18 in. 8-lug. It has a Tone hole in the upper half of the body that again, through much testing, was found to lower the pitch closer to that of the large Timbale shell. This Instrument is played on the side of the body with the stick, creating a new, 1/2 wood and 1/2 metal sound and protecting your floor tom’s finish. Dale’s Drum Shop is an authorized Gruv-X dealer.
