It produces the classic Egyptian darbuka sound, characterized by a deep, resonant bass tone (doum) and a very sharp, high-pitched edge tone (tak). This makes it highly articulate and suitable for complex rhythms.

This darbuka comes as a package that includes a carrying bag for protection and transport, and one spare 22cm synthetic head.

The shell is made from cast aluminum, which is prized for its durability and ability to produce a loud, resonant tone. The exterior is decorated with a beautiful mother of pearl inlay.

Yes, the synthetic head is held in place by a rim with several tuning lugs. You can adjust the tension with a tuning key (not specified if included) to achieve your desired pitch, and the head can be replaced with any standard 22cm darbuka head.
