Meinl Percussion Doumbek Engraved Aluminum

About This Item

• LIGHT AND PORTABLE: the Meinl Doumbek (sometimes called Middle-Eastern goblet drum) is easy to carry around and play while delivering a wide tonal range; get crisp "Tek" strokes and deep, resonant "Doum" strokes that cut through easily
• WHY IT MATTERS: it's perfect for bringing to drum circles, gigs, or classrooms if you don't want to carry heavier, bulkier drums; the variety of tones it produces can support a live acoustic band and are fun to explore playing on your own
• DRIVING THE SOUND: made with a cast aluminum shell and weather-resistant synthetic head for consistent sharp tone; this combination of materials has a snappy response, even at a lower volume
• ZOOM IN: the exterior decoration is engraved by hand and looks beautiful on display; there will be slight variations in the hand made design, making each drum one-of-a-kind
• OF NOTE: comes with a tuning key to make quick pitch adjustments; you can also unscrew the tension rods completely to change heads in moments
• BY THE NUMBERS: the aluminum shell measures 11" W x 17 1/8u201d H; head measures 8 1/2"
• THE BOTTOM LINE: this is a solid, dependable, lightweight drum with roots in Middle-Eastern dance music and applications for just about anything from drum circles to acoustic shows to contemporary pop music
• THE BIG PICTURE: Meinl is a family-owned musical instrument manufacturer and brand established 1951 in Germany; our expert German designers have deep relationships with our builders to ensure you're delivered the absolute finest quality
