    The Doumbek is a drum known for its ability to provide you with crisp slaps while packaged in a stunning goblet design.  Whatever your reason for buying, the Doumbek is sure to be a welcome addition to your
    drum set & happy moments.
    The Doumbek is a chalice or goblet drum that is of ancient origin. Made from Clay,
    metal, nickel, ceramic, or wood, a wide variety of Doumbeks exist and often their appearance and what they are created from is based on where they originate.
    When playing a Doumbek, there are two main sounds that are possible. The 'Doum' sound is a deep sound that you can create by striking the head of the drum with your fingers and palm. The second sound is called 'Tek' or 'Ka', and is produced by using your fingertips and hitting the edge of the drumhead. It is also common to use the fingertips and a small stick to create beats.
    Both doumbeks and darbukas are part of a larger category of drums called Goblet Drums.  Darbukas (aka doumbeks or dumbeks) are a classic Middle Eastern drum used in traditional music, belly dancing, and folk music among other music venues.
    "Arabic music has the same feel as the Blues." ~Willie Dixon, paraphrase
    The Doumbek is popular in many forms of music today, and it is particularly dominant in modern Middle Eastern music. Also found in
    Lebanon
    and
    North Africa
    , the Doumbek is considered a lead percussion drum. The Doumbek has been featured in historical opera such as 'Les Troyens' in 1856 and as part of the composition 'Fantasia-Tahmeel' focusing on the goblet drums in the 1950s.
