Meinl Percussion 8" Aluminum Darbuka Hand Hammered
The Meinl HE-114 is a hand-hammered aluminum darbuka that delivers the classic goblet drum sound prized in Middle Eastern, Eastern European, and South Asian music. Its thin aluminum shell produces a deep, full bass tone alongside crisp, articulate "tak" strokes, giving players a wide dynamic range in a lightweight package. The hand-hammered construction adds visual character while contributing to the instrument's resonant, lively voice. A synthetic head ensures consistent tuning and durability across varying climates, and the Turkish-style external tuning system allows for easy tension adjustments to dial in the perfect sound.
