    Default Doumbek

    I am wondering, to anyone that would know, is Doumbek another word for the arabic Dourbeki Drum?

    Cool Doumbek

    I thought I felt another tingle in the hand-drum sensor area! Do you have a doumbek yet?

    Darbukas (aka doumbeks or dumbeks) are a classic Middle Eastern drum used in traditional music, belly dancing, folk music among other music venues. (Artdrum.com) I have a small doumbek that I enjoy playing now and then as an accent to my regular hand drums.

    Here's another site that should help answer some darbuka/doumbek questions: http://www.therotunda.net/drum/index.html

    BTW, check out DrumBum for other instruction books and vids.

    Enjoy, man!
