Specifications

The Darbuka is a goblet shaped Turkish hand drum. It is a member of the Doumbek family of drums. In the Turkish style, they play a lot with the fingers. This drum has a long, narrow neck, and a much longer sustain than other types of doumbeks. ... These drums are all hand made. The aluminum darbuka (A01, A02, A03, A0310) starts with a disk of aluminum that is put on a lathe. As it spins they push on it to put it into its final shape. Then it is embossed, every dot struck by hand. We put a tunable Mylar head on it. ... A more professional kind of darbuka (A05, A06, A07, A08, A0810) is made of copper or brass. It's made the same way, spun and shaped. Sometimes it's covered with brass, chrome, painted and engraved. When it's made of copper, a heavier and warmer metal, that creates a much deeper, rounder, more formed sound. ... Doumbeks: This family of drums are goblet shaped, and played with the hands. Their sounds range from very deep to high. ... Traditionally, the doumbek was made of clay, with a head?
