Meinl Percussion Aluminum Darbuka Egyptian Goblet Drum, Hand

Meinl Percussion Aluminum Darbuka Egyptian Goblet Drum, Hand Hammered — Made in Turkey — Synthetic Head, 2-Year Warranty (HE-112)
- LIGHT AND PORTABLE: the Meinl Darbuka (sometimes called Middle-Eastern goblet drum) is easy to carry around and play while delivering a wide tonal range; get crisp "Tek" strokes and 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 decoration is hammered by hand and looks beautiful on display; there will be slight variations in the hand made design, making each drum one-of-a-kind
- 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 7" W x 12 3/4” H; head measures 6 1/2"
- 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
MEINL darbukas are made in the tradition of the original, esoteric goblet-shaped drums found in music from Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and Southern Asia. Our darbukas are constructed from thin shells in various metals, each metal giving the different models their special timbre. The head is secured and tuned with external rings set close to the shell, in the Turkish-style. Light yet powerful, the darbukas have a deep full bass. They are well suited for high-pitched snapping sounds as well as a wide range of articulated "doom" and "tak" strokes.
