10 years later, someone is still watching this video. Thank you for this video, my friend! It is very helpful!

You made that look way too easy! Thank you for simplifying it. Now to buy one!

Excellent!! Drum kit for 14 years, Bongos for 3 years, Congas for 6 years, Djembe for 2 years and I have now just bought my first Darbuka. Am excited about getting into this one!! :-)

amazingly beautiful and direct video without show and ego trips. very pleasant instructor. respect man!

Super! Dzięki za krótkie i treściwe wprowadzenie :)

"Whoah, did you see that? That's amazing!" Thanks a lot, I nearly spit my drink on my keyboard. :-) Love it! Thanks though. I play a little djembe, but love the sound of the Darkuba and want to try it!

Eleven years later...wow. Amazing lesson. Can’t wait to watch the next one

I just got my darbuka from meinl yesterday. Thanks for this tutorial! It makes it even for someone who usually isn't that adept with his hands easy to learn it. I appreciate that!

Merytorycznie i bardzo fajnie przeprowadzona lekcja ! Świetnie !

thank you for giving me inspiration and I get to know about darbuka. thank you very much..........

Karol you're so patient and inspirational. thanks a lot for sharing these tutorials! i'm a self taught player and i realised how many minute details in the techniques that i've missed out on, and thanks to you i can improve my playing in so many ways :)

Best tutorials I have ever seen!. Very clear and well demonstrated. THANK YOU!!!

Subscribed after 10 yrs... is a record in itself...😃

One of the clearest videos.

Kiedys na pchlim targu kupilem darbuke. Wowczas nie wiedzialem ze to darbuka. To video oraz kokejne lekcje pokazaly mi w koncu jak trzymac darbuke, jak na niej grac oraz czytac zapis... Karol jestes wielki. Dz

eu sou brasileiro, percussionista e um grande admirador da música árabe. essa aula foi ótima adorei.

Your free lessons are far better than certain web site's paid-for gold package lessons.

Love the darbuka. My favorite instrument!!!

Thank you, my first lesson and I loved it!

absolutly georgeous, the best instrucitons I have found THX

I appreciate your instruction videos and so do several members of our hand drum circle/event group. We all play (attempt to play) various types and are beginning to discover that some of the techniques are applicable to other hand drums. Personally, I really enjoy my doumbeks (darbukas, etc) and a good instructor, like yourself, is a welcome find, here in small town USA. Thanks again.

That was pretty cool. I could watch you make tutorials all day. You make things seem interesting.

What a wonderful video!! you are a great teacher!!! Thank you!

I love it, thx for this lesson! I love the sound of the darbuka, I'm from Morocco and the darbuka is a very populair instrument in Morocco.

thank you so much! you're far the best teacher I found YT :)

Karol, I just bought a couple of Darbukas and we find your tutorials are the best. Very easy to understand, Easy to follow along as our skill grows with each lesson. We really like the fact that you include visual notation. Thanks for posting!

What a great teacher you are. Thank you.

I like that he makes it easy and his explainations are clear

I swear to god I've been practicing for 1 hour, I watched your video and I literally feel like I unlocked my darbuka lol, shit's wild all of a sudden

great cultural lesson. Grew up watching Setrak and the oriental belly dancers on TV

Really useful - very clear and well presented! Thanks!

Very good and clean tutorial...big laugh at the end when appear the partiture on the wall!!!

Thanks a lot KarWil for this great tutorial ! It has been very helpful. I'm making a translation in french of all these tutorial videos for a friend, but it would be a shame not to share it with everyone. The problem is I don't have any idea on how to include subtitles on a video ! If anyone feels like doing it, I'll try posting the translations as a comment for each video, feel free to use and broadcast it ;-)

Now I have to subscribe to this channel and buy one of these things. I'm hooked .....

Best video posted!! Thanks allot very nice!!

You are a great teacher, and seem like a really nice person! Thank you so much for these tutorials :X Greetings form a darbuka enthusiast in Romania!

Great lesson, gave me a good start!

Exellent teaching methods! Thanks for the lessons.

love ur videos so much, just bought the same darbuka as you it sounds great!!

Thanx so much for this lesson. Your life is blessed!

Great lessons!

I have played Darbuka in my own way for some time - having played for belly dance groups (have been a drum teacher - drum kit - for some 30 years, and rock drummer even longer playing pubs and clubs. But these days prefer hand drums such as congas, tabla and the Darbuka. But I finally want to learn Darbuka in a traditional, correct way. So, here I am. I have perused many, many You Tube sites on this, and I find this one the best - have looked through a pile of your lessons, and they make sense, and are in such good order from beginning to more advanced. This is good teaching with no showing off before a student is ready. Some off-beat humour also helps, ha ha. Too many music teachers can be too serious about it all :) Full marks, Karol ! Will be studying all your You Tube lessons over the next few months and beyond. Cheers, and Thank you! Dennis (Australia).

Thank you! 🙏🏼✨ Editing my comment to add that I have watched a lot of music tutorials on KZfaq. This was the best lesson I have found for beginners on this instrument. Hands down. Very grateful.

Thank you from Riyadh!

Thank you for the lesson and your teaching presentation was informative and up beat. I know now what I didn't 5 minutes ago.

this video is great! I'm from Costa Rica and I found very interesting the video, thank you!

I just learned from watching my uncles, never knew it was so technical 😂

Excellent!

Thanks for this lesson and the others ; it helps me so much to learn Darbouka

great man, thank you !!!

Thanks so much for share this knolwedge to all!!!!

thank you man you-your videos are awesome !

Wow...just saw this since i just interesred in drums. Wonderful. You made it look so easy. Hope it does when i get my hands on a Darbuka, though. Thanks for the video lesson.

Thank you so much! You just saved my life! I have to play a gig next week on the Darbuka and I've never played it before. At least now I know how to hold it right and how to stroke it :-) In case there are some arabs in the audience ;-)

Great Works... Best of luck..

Thank you so much!

Easy to follow, thank you!

Wow amazing

ZAJEBISTE !!!

yuh i just practice with this video. thank you for it. it was perfect.x

Excellent.

Wow wonderful 😍😍😍

Thank you sir you do a very precise explanation of how to do this correctly. I did not no to try and just use your wrist but I played jembe first and it is diferent in that way.

Thank you so much! This is a very good tute, and you're pretty funny too. Thanks again, I began 30 minutes ago, and I'm already sensing progress, you're a great teacher! The video goes a bit too fast for me, but I'ml a solow pupil ;-)

that is AMAZING!

Very good explanation. You are a very good teacher.

Good video..........thanks bro...............good luck from SriLanka

wow thank you man, you are so pleasant!

Great tutorial! Really helped me, thank you mate! :)

Cool lesson and incredible video. Thanks for sharing your playing and cool sense of humor! Greetings and likes from Brazil!

Thanks a lot from Greece :)

Thank u for you good lessons! 😘

Karol, hi I´ve been looking for the saidi rythm among your videos and I couldn´t find it. Don´t you have it? regads.

Well done! It was helpful and thank you so much!...

Thank u so much.... Very helpfull!

@ashenhooves I play a two-fingered doum (hitting with my finger pads, not tips) since I first began playing on a small headed darbuka. When playing the full four fingered doum, my drum sounded dead, but with the smaller, more controllable two-fingered doum, it came alive.

Goddamn! Exactly what I needed. You are proof that we live in good times. Because sometimes what we desire is knowledge, and in that, Google is often a Genie. Thank you sir. Your teaching method deserves worthy acknowlegment!

Awesome!! Thank you!!

Thank you for the lesson

Great teaching
