Meinl Percussion Aluminum Bass Doumbek Egyptian Goblet Drum, Leatherette Wrap — Made in Turkey — Synthetic Head, 2-Year Warranty (HE-3200)
LIGHT AND PORTABLE: the Meinl Doumbek (sometimes called Middle-Eastern goblet drum) is easy to carry around and play while delivering a wide tonal range; get crisp "Tek" strokes and deep, resonant "Doum" strokes that cut through easily
WHY IT MATTERS: it's perfect for bringing to drum circles, gigs, or classrooms if you don't want to carry heavier, bulkier drums; the variety of tones it produces can support a live acoustic band and are fun to explore playing on your own
DRIVING THE SOUND: made with a cast aluminum shell and weather-resistant synthetic head for consistent sharp tone; this combination of materials has a snappy response, even at a lower volume
ZOOM IN: the exterior is wrapped in matte black leatherette for a sleek look, and it's comfortable to hold; the leatherette also rounds off high frequencies for a slightly mellow sound
OF NOTE: comes with a tuning key to make quick pitch adjustments; you can also unscrew the tension rods completely to change heads in moments
BY THE NUMBERS: the aluminum shell measures 12" W x 18 1/4” H; head measures 10"
THE BOTTOM LINE: this is a solid, dependable, lightweight drum with roots in Middle-Eastern dance music and applications for just about anything from drum circles to acoustic shows to contemporary pop music
THE BIG PICTURE: Meinl is a family-owned musical instrument manufacturer and brand established 1951 in Germany; our expert German designers have deep relationships with our builders to ensure you're delivered the absolute finest quality
Deep lows from the extra wide head and elongated body of the Bass Doumbek give you the ability to fill a large musical space. The super deep tones are contrasted by the ability of the Bass Doumbek to project snappy, ringing highs, giving players a wide tonal range to create with.
