Darbuka

Also known as the doumbek, the Darbuka is a goblet drum that originates from the Middle East. Its distinctive shape and tight skin allow for a wide range of tones, from deep, resonant bass to sharp, staccato highs. Traditionally made from clay or metal and played with the fingers and palms, the Darbuka is a staple in Middle Eastern music, essential for belly dancing rhythms and the intricate patterns of Arabic, Turkish, and North African musical traditions.
