doumbeks

Category: High drums

The Doumbek comes from the Persian "Tombak" and is closely related to the Arabic / North African "Darbuka". The latter, however, are usually made of metal. This very elegant little drum is traditionally played on the thigh with the fingers, which requires a lot of practice and a high degree of virtuosity. Its sharp, very defined sound comes through almost as well in a djembe playing style (held between the legs) too, so do not be afraid of this wonderful instrument.
