Meinl HE-102 Aluminium Darbuka 6,5 x 12,75"

Allmänt

Despite its relatively small size, the Meinl Headliner Series® HE-102 darbuka offers an impressive sound. With its 12 3/4-inch-deep shell and a 6 1/2-inch diameter, this goblet drum produces deep bass tones, balanced mids and and beautifully sharp, singing trebles. Thank to the aluminium shell and its small size, this instrument is remarkably lightweight and easy to transport. It comes with a tuning key.

Meinl HE-102 Aluminium Darbuka

The darbuka is one of the most popular percussion instruments from the Middle East, and it originates from northern Africa. The name darbuka likely comes from the Arabian word 'darba', which roughly means 'to hit', so it can pretty much serve as a built-in user manual. Despite the fact that the darbuka looks quite a bit like the West-African djembe, and also belongs to the goblet drum family, this instrument sounds very different from a djembe, and it's made from entirely different materials. It's more closely related to the doumbek drum, which also originated in the north of Africa.
