Description
The Meinl Percussion Darbuka is made from cast aluminum by artisans in Turkey (sometimes called Middle Eastern or Egyptian goblet drum). This beautifully crafted instrument delivers authentic sound that stems from roots in the Middle East, North Africa, and Eastern Europe. Professional world percussion players, drum circle facilitators, and teachers have all gravitated toward Meinl darbukas because of their sound and ease of use. Equipped with a durable synthetic head that resists changes in weather and projects fully. The head produces deep, resonant “Doum” strokes and snappy “Tek” strokes. Plus, the cast aluminum rim sits flush with the head, making finger-snapping techniques easy to play. The aluminum shell measures 5 3/4" W x 9 1/4” H, and the head measures 5 1/3". Comes with tuning wrench.
