Playability and percussive punch combined!

This Turkish design of the Schalloch Aluminum Darbuka Drum has resonant low tones and strong high tones, with a wide range between the 2 registers. Rims feature a square-shaped edge that enables finger-snapping techniques that aren't possible with Egyptian-style rims. The hand drum has an aluminum body with Mylar head. Lightweight and very portable.

I got the schalloch alluminum darbuka 3 days ago and i havnt stopped playing it since. I got the 8" because I thought the 6" would be way to small, this is a small drum but its not too small. It has great, resonant low tones and very authentic conga-like high tones. I would like it to have a wider range in between its 2 main tones, but other than that its a great drum, especcially for the price. U need to get one soon.

I bought the 8" version about three years ago and the thing still rocks. I had to tune it way up when I got it but after I did it sounded great. It has a very unique sound. You can get alot of great tones outa this lil' guy. Buy one!

Stop thinking about it, and just buy one. These are awesome. The sound is totally NOT what you expect from some plastic head, and aluminum body. I own both the 6 and 8 inch drums. I like the 8" better because of the deeper bass. However, a very unique (in a good way) sound.

This drum can produce an amazing variety of tones. You can press the head on the edge with your thumb while hitting either the rim or the head with your other hand and get a great bend out of it. Honestly, it can sound like 4 or 5 percussion instruments. I own tablas, a dholak and other hand percussion. This (I bought the 8") is an incredible bargain!! A word of advice: There is definetly a 'sweet spot' that makes this little guy come alive by patiently tuning and then gently stretching the head.
