The darbuka is an Arabian instrument who influenced the world like the oud guitar in Spain and Portugal and the darbuka in turkey Iran Armenia etc it’s actually from the word daraba or derbnī which mean hit or striking
ahh the middle east, where nobody can agree where half the instruments and food originate from! all in gest, take it as a compliment that many countries feel the same pride you do! i know being canadian with no middle eastern heritage, i love learning about the culture!
Nan Mercader has an excellent introductory lesson video. He teaches the basic sounds and perhaps 15 of the most popular rhythms. He moves from a very slow demonstration of each, then up tempo practice, then play-along with a friend on oud. I recommend it to anyone from beginner to intermediate. Great lesson, Kalani, thanks, Alex
Hi! just for your information . Tombak is an old Persian name and its totally a diffrent instrument . you can read about it in this link en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tombak
Just got my Darbouka today and for, well, reasons, I only got it nearing my 50's, although I have loved the sound of this drum since the late 1980's. Been a regular drummer since early 1980's. I sought out a starting point to play this drum and your video was the first one to show up. I have however improvised on many other percussion instruments through life. Thanks for the easy intro. I will play this a lot, it has character, it has a history and it sounds fantastic. I got mine from an eBay seller and it's a steel (I think) construction. Thanks! Don't forget to listen to the absolutely crazy fusion of Darbouka and traditional rock instruments from 'Art Metal (2007)' Players: Jonas Hellborg(bass), V. Selvaganesh(Tabla/Darbouka), IA Eklundh(Guitar), Jens Johansson(Keys) and Anders Johansson(Drums)
How's it going? I'm 60 and gonna get mine this weekend. :) Not a drummer, but am told my rhythm is great. Played in gamelan next to someone without that. I feel confident. :)
@@marshwetland3808 Hey there Marsh! Thanks, it's going good. I do the darbuka mostly as a recreational pracitce regimen. It's a great distraction from my regular drum kit and you can make many distinct sounds if you try and improvise. Check this one out: ua-cam.com/video/6wlR9de6c5M/v-deo.html It's an extremely local band in Sweden but the background drum is the Darbouka and that's where I got the inspiration. Hope you'll enjoy this great instrument. All be well!
@@Tranarpnorra I guess I prefer a more traditional use of the instrument. Also I don't care for the jingly version. Thanks for the link to check out, though. Yeah, your name could sure be Swedish I see that. Kalani already showed us 4 distinct sounds, and I know there are more, especially once you get into the rhythms. I get a lot of great stuff from bellydance videos. I will enjoy for sure. That said, this is a great one I just discovered, just the drum with a funk loop behind it. ua-cam.com/video/TycxCE0Vlcc/v-deo.html
Drums (Western countries), Djembe (Western African countries), Doumbek (Middle Eastern countries), Darbuka (Mediterranean countries), Tabla (South Asian countries: India & Pakistan) and most recently, Hangdrum (from Switzerland) are all percussion instruments based on similar mechanics. While some may be better known or mainstream than others, neither is right or wrong. On a different note, is there a world convention of percussion instruments? There should be one.
Woo, Kalani, those were some sweet sounds. The timbres gave me tingles. The music store is bringing in a darbuka for me so I can try and buy. Loved this music for many years and it's now time to play some of it, too. Thanks for your intro lesson! You're my go-to percussion guy, in general.
Great playing but kinda sad that Greece always gets left out :/ we have a name for it here: toumbeleki and its also used in our folk music, although its a borrowed instrument fron Turkey.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tonbak or Tombak is slightly different drum originated in Iran. Tom and Bak both are main sounds of Tombak and the reason of the naming.
You're good, and this video tutorial actually did teach me a few things, but it's just hard to put it all together. I didn't know that using your whole fingers and palm + thumb makes a different sound than just fingers - thumb. Thank you so much 🙏. God Bless you and yours and thanks again 👌🙌🤚
Love this you play so well. ❤ I played darbuka badly years ago in a womens drum circle here in the UK. !!!! We played and danced to some great rhythms, baladi, Saudi, Ghawazee and many more. I went to Egypt many years ago and the "Charcoal Gypsies" played for us while we danced. They were amazing!!!!!
for all that want to know... in Greece and Turkey the teachers insist that we learn first the turbelek (witch is the traditional Turkish drum) and then the darbuka!!! your technic is at a very good stage!!! now you need to do the mastery of the basics so you can go up a level or two!!!! (I'm a practitioner of all the Mediterranean drums) keep up the good work!!!! and look around for some new technics!!!!
Yeah I Darbukas or a modernized version of doumbeks, you have a doumbek right now. Also if you’re asking, no, Darbukas and Doumbeks are not the same thing.
Mine doesn’t sound anything like this but that’s what happens when you go low budget and pay only $39.99 for one at Guitar center. You get what you pay for.☹️😩😡
Joe Music this darbuka in the video is egytpian i'm sure, depending on which one you bought it might be styled in a different way, turkish, syrian, moroccan
ColinsCity mine is a highly polished metal and of course is tunable using an Allen wrench. I has to grind down the edge as it hurt my hands with the edge. Anyways, it got a cheap sound so like they say...you get what you pay for. I’ve learned that when it comes to musical instruments quality comes when you pay the money for it. That’s exactly why I began making cajon drums. I should make a video of what I make but not until my Woodworking skills improve. I’ve had people tell me that my cajons sound better than the ones at the music stores.
@@joemusic2882 hey..i wanna say that you can get a little bit nicer that the aluminium darbuka and its called egyptian darbuka..for just $100~120..I guess..at here Malaysia....or cheaper..
He was just saying that in India 'tabla' just means 'drum' in the same way 'doumbek' means 'drum' in some cultures. He wasn't saying they're the same instrument.
I'm from Pakistan and Tabla is not another name for Darbuka or this instrument...Tabla is a totally different instrument and tabla is not even a single instrument it consists of two drum one for bass and other for the shrilly sound and together the two drums are called tabla. Tabla is and Asian instrument mostly found in Pakistan and India.
We just bought one from a charity shop. My 5 yr old daughter wants me to learn to play it. She loves the beats, it's almost brand new and I love the sound it makes.
Thank you so much for this video. I have saved it to my playlist so that I might practice with it. I just recently bought my first Darbuka to learn how to drum; and I have found it to be a lot of fun to practice and play. Thank you again so very much! 😊💖🙏
I didn’t know Mr. Clean was a percussionist
I though it was Niko from Here Comes The Boom...
Kojacks younger brother.
you all are so wrong! its David Draiman from Disturbed!
@@Shadow_Zion oh my you're right
ZIon Anderson But he’s missing the massive nose ring.

Yess
Wrong it’s Persian and it’s a Persian word
@@mv.112 wrong... Its Egyptian and Turkish and the common rythem is Egyptian.
ahh the middle east, where nobody can agree where half the instruments and food originate from! all in gest, take it as a compliment that many countries feel the same pride you do! i know being canadian with no middle eastern heritage, i love learning about the culture!
But oud is originally from iran and the name was barbat more than thousands years ago.
Your darbuka looks beautiful!
I'm from lebanon and it's called derbeke
MikeTheMailMan I’m Armenian
In English it's Darbuka
@@ahmedikawika2204 got em.

NOT DARBUKA . TARABUKA
won't put the tabla in the same mechanic boat, it is the most complex percussive instrument
@@BlackSilenceEnds909 Agreed. Tabla is not Darbuka.
What about the toubeleki
tabla is something else ...smaller in size ...im from pakistan and we call it derbuka and hand drum here too...
In Afghanistan it’s called zerbaghali which in persian means under your side
In romania it's called "tarabana"
It is called Dunbek in Iraq.
Thanks for giving guidance in very simple way. Now I feel that Darbuka is user friendly. Thanks again

who cares how you play it, as long as it sounds good
The one who wanna learn it
difficult to see anyone who sounds great playing it in a vastly different manner… micro-adjustments aside, this opinion is ridiculous
To sound good you need to know how to play it….🤔
Great playing but kinda sad that Greece always gets left out :/ we have a name for it here: toumbeleki and its also used in our folk music, although its a borrowed instrument fron Turkey.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tonbak or Tombak is slightly different drum originated in Iran. Tom and Bak both are main sounds of Tombak and the reason of the naming.
Hello, please provide us with a link to buy the exact model you are using - it’s absolutely beautiful!
You play awsome. im iranian
It's not at all called tabla. Watch Zakir Hussain's tabla performance. If this is tabla then a Cello is a Violin.
Egyptians Calle them tabla.
excellent instruction thank you! its all about those fine details
In my country it call `Rolling` it used for marawis it sounded good :)
Hi there sorry I don't know if I missed it in your video, but what is the brand and size of your Darbuka?
You're good, and this video tutorial actually did teach me a few things, but it's just hard to put it all together. I didn't know that using your whole fingers and palm + thumb makes a different sound than just fingers - thumb. Thank you so much 🙏. God Bless you and yours and thanks again 👌🙌🤚
ahhh Thank u very much for sharing your knowledge :) I've just started playing with others, and it's a lot of fun !!

Steven Kara do you have any videos playing the darbuka? How to play? Would love to see some please... 🙏🙏🤗🤗
What’s the brand of your darbuka? Thanks
nice
I am from India and tabla is a completely different instrument. But I really learnt to play this after seeing ur video. Thanq so much.
Yes, the names can be confusing. When I was in Lebanon, they called it Tabla or Darbuka.
Yeah I Darbukas or a modernized version of doumbeks, you have a doumbek right now. Also if you’re asking, no, Darbukas and Doumbeks are not the same thing.
darbuka is also called tabla, tabla is drum in arabic
Sir, kindly try Dholak/Dholki (Indian) in case you haven't. I'm sure you'll like it.
anyone know a decent model of darbuka to buy to get started (towards the budget side)
Mine doesn’t sound anything like this but that’s what happens when you go low budget and pay only $39.99 for one at Guitar center. You get what you pay for.☹️😩😡

Oh, it sounds like a metal Turkish Darbuka, metal definitely has a different sound to it compared to the clay or aluminum
ColinsCity Mine is aluminum

Great vid, man! In Mars it is called p5t1.
How can I learn it from dubai
It is called Tumbak naer in Kashmir
Its my fav one.....And tabla is instrument in india and its completely different from this....
He was just saying that in India 'tabla' just means 'drum' in the same way 'doumbek' means 'drum' in some cultures. He wasn't saying they're the same instrument.
thks...for information

Tonbak is originally from Iran only that is made with the skin of animal like sheep or cow and the body made from Quality wood.

Most people call Dumbek but is commonly known as Darbuka. I missed the idea here.
We just bought one from a charity shop. My 5 yr old daughter wants me to learn to play it. She loves the beats, it's almost brand new and I love the sound it makes.
I am learning this because I have a darbuka (not the same exact model as he has, it's made by Meinl)
