Thanks for the video, I was doing it intuitively but with the fingers and the elbow way up, gotta start over to get the muscle memory u.u I wonder if you could make a video to develop hand Independence, since this is the first musical instrument that I'm up to learn and although I can do some random independent left hand thanks to other videos, I need one with a fast and beautiful sound but with the notations on and from slow to fast (sorry for my English). Greetings from Tierra del Fuego, Argentina.
I love your videos, its the best material I can find that teaches darbuka😊 I have a question: How would you structure what you play if you would just play in front of some people on your own? And how do you do that if you play together with people? So far I'm just having lots of fun practising at home, but if I was to do so in front of some friends, I wouldn't know how to..
Thanks for the kind words. I suppose what I would play in front of people depends on what the scenario is. Am I playing a drum solo for a dancer, jamming with other musicians, or something else? It might be good to learn the drum parts to some songs; you don't need to learn them note for note, but just be able to groove with the beats the song uses. Once you've learned the beats from my "10 Rhythms" videos, you should be able to figure out the beats to lots of classic bellydance songs.
Great to see you back Geoff - looks like the finger has healed up nicely. Am still working on the double Ka, but this will be next :) Thanks for posting!
Beautiful instrument! Who makes those? A friend has one with a lightbulb inside it to keep the head tight, but he doesn't know who made it! Thanks Geoff, I've got a lot from your lessons in a short space of time. Aidan
Hi Ta Ha. To be honest with you, I haven't been drumming much lately. My focus has been on guitar and bass. If you have questions, I can try to answer them here.
@@geoffchilders hi Geoff, I wanted to learn to play along to a couple songs and I am not able to improvise. Really like the way this guy does play along to songs: ua-cam.com/video/_agdeL5Q3lE/v-deo.html I would compensate you of course!
Well, I can't say I've ever gotten results I'm totally thrilled with, but that may be due partly to working in a non-treated room. I usually just put the mic in front of the drum, toward the top side where the teks and kas happen. With a dynamic mic, I'd go with about 7-10 inches from the drum. With a condenser mic, maybe a little more.
你好，先生。谢谢你上传的视频。祝你身体健康，为我们分享更多的视频。
I just want to say that please never stop recording darbuka lessons
Sadly, I think he did. :(
@@jec0435 I'm married to him, and I think he needs to get back to it!
@@LaurelNoble-n3w Yes, give him a poke for all of us please. ;)
Great. I've been intuitively looking for this triple Ka. Thank you for the tips!
Nice video and good to see you back. Keep them coming...

Yeah, thanks man! The surgery was a success and I'm all healed-up. Thank goodness for modern medicine!

The drum is made by Savvas in Greece.
Thanks Geoff, would you ever be available for a private lesson? Got started using your videos wanted to ask you some questions

Thank you so much 😊 I’ve been looking for this
Sup Geoff, I have a question. How do you mic a darbuka, like for recording through an interface into a computer? I only have one mic.

@@geoffchilders Thank you, and that's why you're the ish.
Great!
Super!
