MEINL darbukas are in the tradition of the original, esoteric chalice-shaped drums found in the music of Eastern Europe, the Middle East and South Asia. Our darbukas are made of thin shells of different metals, each metal giving the different models their own particular timbre. The head is secured and tuned with external rings close to the bowl in the Turkish style. Light yet powerful, the darbukas have a deep, full bass. They are suitable for high snapping sounds as well as a wide range of articulate "doum" and "tak" beats.
