Doumbeks & Darbukas

"Arabic music has the same feel as the Blues." ~Willie Dixon, paraphrase 

~From AllAboutJazz.com article (www.allaboutjazz.com/php/article.php?id=15545)

Doumbeks and Darbukas

At Artdrum.com we use the terms 'doumbek' and 'darbuka' interchangeably.  Both doumbeks and darbukas are part of a larger category of drums called Goblet Drums.  Darbukas (aka doumbeks or dumbeks) are a classic Middle Eastern drum.  They are traditionally played by Middle Eastern percussionists for belly dancing, traditional, folk and pop music.  In addition, they have become beloved by professional percussionists, recreational drummers, drum circle enthusiasts and others around the globe.

You will find many styles of darbukas at Artdrum covering every playing level.  We have darbukas with metal, ceramic, fiberglass and Austicon shells.  We have Turkish, Pakistani, Egyptian and U.S. made darbukas.  We have darbukas with heads made of fish skin, goat skin, plastic and Remo's popular synthetic skins.  We also have tunable and pre-tuned darbukas; thin and wide necked darbukas; rounded and square rimmed darbukas; and small, medium and large size darbukas.

We are confident you will find outstanding and lovable darbukas here.  In fact, we are so confident that your Satisfaction Is Guaranteed.  If you are not satisfied, please contact us and then return the drum in new condition and we will promptly give you a full refund minus the original shipping cost.
