Made in the original tradition of goblet-shaped drums found in music from Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and Southern Asia, the Meinl Percussion Turkish-style Darbukas feature thin metal shells with a synthetic head tuned by external rings. Sweetwater percussionists have found that the lightweight construction of the Meinl darbuka belies its powerful voice: a rich, deep bass and a wide range of traditional doum and tak sounds that cut through anything. Finally, each Meinl Percussion Darbuka comes with its own tuning key for making pitch and/or head changes. If you’re tired of carrying heavier hand or frame drums to your gigs and drum circles, then check out this Meinl Percussion Darbukas.
