I put cloth in the neck to cut the ring…aluminum does have a sharper sound if that’s what you want…a natural skin on aluminum gives a really strong bass, but don’t know if any goblet drum these days would accept that; my oldie has a metal ring with bolts

Thank you for video! I just ordered the same dimension from Sons de l'Orient. Will arrive in few days. What is your recomandation about skin? Remo or powerbeat? Danke

Awesome video bro!

Bist du aus Deutschland?

Nice instrument. Kinda something I'd like to have myself when I buy an aluminum darbuka. Are there links on this certain model?

To make a kick like sound you need to tune it tighter so the rim goes slightly under the skin surface. That will make you able to hit the very edge of the skin, that will give you the kick like sound. But if you do that the skin will be too tight to do the hit and press trick...I don't know whether it is possible to get both of them all in one setting on a metal darbuka, perhaps you'll need to stretch the skin out a bit for that.

Sehr schöne Trommel 😍. Hast du schon mal eine 28cm Aluminium Darbuka von GEF gespielt? Ich hatte die ungeschmückte in schwarz. War super. Jetzt habe ich eine ältere geschmückte gekauft. Bombastisch.

Brilliant player! Where is this drum from? Egypt you say. Where to buy? Online? Are you german? And where are you located in the world?

Are you German? I really love your video & Darbuka Collection! Your skills are impressive. Love it! - subbed

Do you do private lessons?

Thank you for the video ❤ you are amazing!! I need help please all the sombaty I am finding made out of plastic and pearls is that good? Or it has to be Aluminum??

Simon wie viel kostet diese Darbuka eigentlich?

If you don’t like why you play, full of negative sign 👎🏼
