Hello! I inherited three (cheap) clay darbukas that are “student model” quality, but when skinned, sounded lovely! They all need to be reskinned. Is it possible to reskin them and if so how? I’ve been scouring the net and you’re the first drummer who has a darbuka I can reference. The skins have been glued and rope is used as well. Thank you for any help you can give.

Hi Simon! Your smooth explanation and interest makes me love your videos. I am a darbuka player for a few months now and I find your experience nicely filling the gaps in RUclips sources for darbuka.

We have the same trubles with tamburello in Italy 😂

Nice and informative videos on your channel! Are all your darbukas clay ones from Egypt? They sound really good :)

Excelent i have been looking for this explanation for a long time ❤

Hi Simon, great to come back to one of your videos. Do you have anything to say about leg pain? I have one of those heavy El Fan pearly on my lap. Any advise? Or should I just address a medical professional ;)

total schön, dass ich euch live erleben durfte! so viel spielfreude, können, verbindung und leichtigkeit!

Thanku verimi aç bro veri Naizent veri her Fulya formation

Thank you for video! I just ordered the same dimension from Sons de l'Orient. Will arrive in few days. What is your recomandation about skin? Remo or powerbeat? Danke

It is hard to find these different techniques on clay daholas with this much clarity, loved your content.

Hello! i want to buy a good darbouka and i realy like the sound of clay model. What model/brand do you recomand? thank you

HELLO SIMON THANK YOU FOR YOU AMAZING VIDEO , I JUST BROKE A CLAY DARBUKA FROM HASAN ABU MAGID CAN YOU PLEASE TELL ME HOW I CAN REPAIR IT ?THANK YOU SO MUCH

Hey Simon, have you taken your music lessons from India? Coz the 'taka dhinnaa' is our Music Language. 😀

Very nice

Im playing darbuka 2 monts😢 and i think im learning some rols with fingers but i need try this ones when i get beter to practice this ones cause for beginer its hard i think do u making online class and tell me how much time i need to be at least 30% of 100%

This work better on a bass darbuka

Bist du aus Deutschland?

Interesting but you talk too much

Hi, you have mentioned hitting the rim with the first finger joint. Been practicing on a GEF metal darbuka during last 6 months (selftaught from RUclips) and over time I have developed some kind of inflammation in the last finger joints of ring and index fingers on the left and index on the right hand... Whipping relaxed fingers at high speed towards the plastic head over a metal rim is still hitting the bones somehow. I try to hit closer to the rim for the Ka's and Tek's for clear sound it takes a toll on my joints, because when the fleshy tip hits the drum head 2 cm from the rim - the 1st finger joint naturally bangs directly across the metal rim edge. I managed to produce decently clear Teks and Kas with dooms and crisp slaps (had some pains in all 4 fingertips when I developed slaps techique, but it healed), even achieved some split hand Ka's with left hand index and ring fingers. But after I started to build up speed the pain became to occur more frequently. I know ppl might say it can be poor technique, but I made sure to follow instructions best to my ability and the sound I get seems good to my ears.I think I need to take a long break to heal my joints and now I wonder if darbuka playing is something that one can do for many years at all. Just bought my second GEF drum as well.. This pain/inflammation in fingers used to go away in 2-3 days, but now I have it for weeks.

Best explanation on the entire enternet. Ty ❤

what about this one? : right1, right3 and then left1, left3

nice who makes that darbuka

🙏

😎

WoooOoooW

Yeah 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Great lesson, thanks for sharing!

It is an absolute pleasure to dance to the sound of a ceramic drum with a natural skin over an aluminum and synthetic. I love my fathers ceramic darbuka, but the natural skin definitely doesn't do well at outdoor haflas, often requiring a trip to the fireside to keep it in tune.

Hello. Thank you for your shared experience and informations about this subject. If I can ask you something. How to take care of fish skin ? It is said the best is to play it regularly, and keep away from direct sun light. Thank you.

Oops...I thought I was gonna hear some jazz ala Judas Priest.

Very nice! I love the orchestration you put together of all the percussion instruments! Dynamics and finesse are well evident!! Well done!!

Wow! I"m surprised that darbuka ( that seemed to me more like an ethnic instrument) not only efficiently plays the role of a drum kit (with other percussion staff) but has it's own sound and charm that fits so well in that style of music. Of course it is because this instrument is in master's hands! And all the project in general sounds so impressive. Want to listen more!

Beautiful solo! YOu are realy profi ! Have you just one composition from this concert? I should see more, please

wow

Interesting! I will try this tecniks! Thanks! Im waiting more videos!

Wonderful channel and video. So nice 👏🏽

Thank you Zimon !

Thank you for sharing

I put cloth in the neck to cut the ring…aluminum does have a sharper sound if that’s what you want…a natural skin on aluminum gives a really strong bass, but don’t know if any goblet drum these days would accept that; my oldie has a metal ring with bolts

Where can I buy your ,,drum pilot for darbuka" book 🤔🤔🤔

👍👍👍

To make a kick like sound you need to tune it tighter so the rim goes slightly under the skin surface. That will make you able to hit the very edge of the skin, that will give you the kick like sound. But if you do that the skin will be too tight to do the hit and press trick...I don't know whether it is possible to get both of them all in one setting on a metal darbuka, perhaps you'll need to stretch the skin out a bit for that.

Hey man, I just come across your music. I listened to it and it was so beautiful, I wanna write a bass line for it. Thank you so much for your music.

Good video One thing that has helped me a lot. I play darbuka and djembe. Is to soak my hands in a hot salt bath and moisturize them a lot. Also giving time for certain pains to heal instead of trying to push through the pain.

This is actually excellent material for learning, many thanks!

Hello, how the hell do you install those raw hides? Is it hard? I can not find any tutorial about it on youtube. I see there are some small ropes, but it does not look intuitive. I contemplate about clay darbuka, but without ability to change the head myself it seems like an expensive one-way ticket.. Also, how do you even tune the tension on these things, like if it gets too tense or too low because the weather changed?

Do you do private lessons?
