The GRUV-X Mundo is an instrument that creates the sound of a wooden shell and the side of a metal timbale mixed together. 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, that fit on every sized drum, from a 10" 6-lug to an 18" 8-lug. It has a “Tone” hole in the upper half of the body that lowers 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 unique wood and metal sound.
