There's something magical about the sound of a well-crafted darbuka drum. That distinctive blend of deep, resonant bass and sharp, crisp highs has been the heartbeat of Middle Eastern music for centuries. Now you can bring that authentic sound into your own life with this beautifully hand-engraved Turkish darbuka, crafted by skilled artisans who've dedicated their lives to perfecting this traditional instrument.
Each ZAZA Percussion darbuka is proudly made in Turkey, where master craftsmen hand-engrave every detail onto the aluminum shell. The 16-inch body isn't just beautiful to look at—it's engineered for exceptional sound quality. The 8-inch tunable synthetic head features a 5-bolt tuning system that allows you to fine-tune your drum to perfection, whether you prefer a deeper, more resonant sound or tighter, crisper tones.
What sets this darbuka apart is its incredible sound projection. The aluminum body delivers rich mid-range Doum lows that resonate deeply, while the synthetic head produces sharp Tek/Ka highs that cut through any ensemble. This perfect balance makes it ideal for Middle Eastern music, drum circle sessions, or even casual practice sessions at home. The internal jingles add an extra layer of texture to your playing, creating a fuller, more complex sound profile.
Whether you're just starting your percussion journey or you're an experienced player looking for a reliable performance instrument, this darbuka has you covered. The lightweight yet sturdy construction makes it easy to transport to gigs or practice sessions, while the weather-resistant synthetic head means you can play indoors or outdoors without worrying about humidity or temperature changes affecting your sound.
This isn't just a musical instrument—it's a piece of cultural heritage that connects you to centuries of musical tradition. The hand-engraved design makes it a stunning conversation piece, while the exceptional build quality ensures it will be a part of your musical journey for years to come.
