Made entirely of aluminum, the Meinl doumbek has outstanding sound quality. The durable synthetic head easily and quickly changes range from deep, resonant "doum" lows to snapping, ringing highs that both fully project.

Professional world percussion players have gravitated to Meinl doumbeks due to their unsurpassed acoustic properties as well as their durability and fine craftsmanship. With the rim sitting flush to the head on these models, finger-snapping techniques are easily executed. The hand engraved ornamental design gives this drum a very unique aesthetic appeal.
