The darbuka, also known as the doumbek, is a goblet-shaped percussion instrument used in traditional music from the Middle East, North Africa, and the Balkans. Egyptian-style darbukas have a prominent place in Egyptian music. This model has an aluminium body and a tunable, replaceable synthetic head. Synthetic heads are generally less sensitive to changes in temperature and humidity than natural skin heads. Our Egyptian darbuka range includes different sizes, colours, and materials. Compare the specifications of each model to choose an instrument suited to your needs; weight and sound vary with the model, materials, and tuning.
