Our Pro Doumbeks / Darbuka/ Tabla
We source our drums for best quality and sound. Our Egyptian drums are made custom by Egy Gawhara co (relative to Ghawarat el Fan) one of the most reputable longstanding Egyptian instrument maker. As drummers, we only want the best instruments and have a mission to provide great instruments with a consistent level of quality. They are cast aluminum, and finished w

ith a coating and mother of pearl inlay. Plastic heads, tunable. We select for sound quality. We are also carrying a line of domestic drums with natural heads, metal and maybe soon ceramic. The Tabla Family

The Egyptian doumbek or tabla is the probably the best known style of arabic drum. Doumbeks (aka darabukeh, derbekeh, dumbelek, tabla, tarabuka); traditionally hail from throughout the Middle East and North Africa, Turkey, Greece, and the Balkans, and vary slightly in technique and manufacture according to region. A goblet or chalice drum, doumbeks were traditionally made from clay and animal skin, and that style of drum is making a comeback. Most drums today are cast aluminum with plastic heads, a sturdy design that withstands travel and weather. Tabla are popular worldwide, and are showing up in drum circles being lighter and with more potentially ornate finger technique then djembe. They are now copying the look of Egyptian drums in Turkey because the design is well-suited to advanced technique, but the Egyptian drums are generally heavier then their Turkish cousins (an asset in tone and playability). The peg refers to the number of screws in the top rim, and hence the size of the drum, but the system is
not standardized and fails to fully describe the full range of drums in the tabla family.

4- PEG TABLA are slightly smaller and higher pitched about 12 LB/ 8.5" head diameter

6 - PEG TABLA are the standard egyptian drum-- most popular weighs about 13 LB/ 9" head diameter

SOMBATI - also 6 pegs is slightly larger and has lower dums and higher
teks then a standard drum

DOHOLLA are a very large size doumbek( ranges 6 or 8 pegs)

We generally carry only the 4 and 6 peg, but can occasionally get the others.
