Product Description
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. ...
