Your cart is empty.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 "doum" and "tak" strokes.

muy bien empacado! Tenía algo de miedo al comprarlo debido a las otras reseñas que decían que el producto les llegaba con algunas abolladuras, y eso que mi pedido tenía que llegar de Miami a Panamá (Llevaba meses buscando uno así en mi país pero en ninguna tienda había). Me tranquilice cuando la compañía encargada del transporte me informo que lo podrían en una segunda caja ya que parecía que la primera caja no iba a resistir y efectivamente cuando lo saque estaba abierto en un lado. Pero llegó en perfectas condiciones.El sonido perfecto, como lo son los productos de meinl. Anteriormente he tenido otras 2 darbukas del mismo tamaño y material y nunca decepciona su calidad de material y sonido.

I would recommend this darbuka. It sounds loud and clear with detailed sounds depending on where its struck. Its light weight and evidently hand made. The rim is heavy and stable though. Get one.

Me gusto pero sería conveniente que las medidas fueran comparativas ya que al.momento de comprar no tenemos una escala para medir.

When I saw someone using the Darbuka drum at one of our drum circle classes I just knew I had to have one of my own. After checking on Amazon I found this one (Meinl percussion Darbuka with hand hammered aluminum shell make in Turkey) and purchased it. I have had a few basic lessons on how to use the Darbuka and I found it to be a fantastic drum. A special tool also came with it to tighten and adjust the drum head.I love practicing my drumming using the Darbuka. My only complaint, which is my fault, was not looking at the different price ranges of this drum on line. I could have saved almost 50% what I paid for this one; nevertheless, I love this drum and am glad I bought it.If you are seeking a Darbuka drum you may want to check out this product.Rating: 5 Stars.

It doesn't make any "musical" sound. Maybe because of the type of material. I like it as decorative item though.

Think doumbek light. Not nearly as loud or cutting as a doumbek, good for softer arrangements with frame drums and riqqs, when you want to bring the volume and intensity down at bit. It’s a quality drum. Don’t forget that the technique is a bit different than a doumbek, primarily for you your non-dominant hand. The head/edge is different from a doumbek, so you have to adjust your technique.

This hand drum has a nice tone and surprising volume for its size. I bring it to my regular drum circle to share (after I got a larger, full-size doumbek). It looks nice and is easy to carry around on a hike or to the park. The head is a little small for my large hands, the side lugs can occasionally get in the way. Also, the metal body is a little slippery which can sometimes make it tricky to hold for long periods of time. I have thought about putting some textured tape in a couple places to help with that. All-in-all a very good drum for the price. I am happy with it.

I just received my darbuka 15 minutes ago. I took it out of the box, placed it on my lap, and began to play. I'm in LOVE! It's lightweight. The head is the perfect size for my small hands. The rim doesn't hurt my fingers. The sound is superb. The deep bass sound resonates. The higher sound on the rim also resonates. I simply adore the designs on the body of this darbuka. I received a key for the purpose of adjusting this instrument. I have no need to adjust this darbuka. I only have a need to play it! I also received a small, professionally created book with pictures and the names of the other instruments. I am going to stick with this darbuka. Yay!

Used one of these in Northern Cyprus and was amazed by the sounds so just had to have one. Took a little adjusting and tuning but this is done easily. Then when you've got the sound its great.

The website measurements for this foot tall drum are way off. Amazon doesn't seem too worried about changing the measurements either, so don't be setting your heart on a nice drum! Go to kmart and buy a toy one. Theiy're bigger.,
