General Information

Goblet drum synonymous names used by various cultures:
Doumbek, Doumbec, Dumbeg, Derbeki, Darbouka, & Tabla

It is generally assumed the doumbek originated in the middle east, but not so. It actually did not arrive there until after the time of Christ. There were no pictures on the Pharonic walls and they pictured everything!

The first doumbek shell artifacts were carbon dated back to 4,000 BC and were found in of all places, Bohemia. There was a Celtic tribe called the Boiis that moved south instead of west like the other tribes. It appears they developed the doumbek there.




FAQs

What is the difference in sound between a doumbek and a zarb?
A zarb is mellower and more resonate than a doumbek. The zarb produces a lower "tec".


What is a "doum" and what is a "tec"?
"Doum" is the term used to refer to stroking the center of the drumhead, creating a lower note. "Tec" is the term drummers use when referring to hitting the drum edge, which creates a higher and sharper note.


What is the difference between the wide neck doumbek versus the narrow neck?
The wide neck doumbek has shorter resonance and a higher "doum". The flare on the narrow neck drum adds to the resonance resulting in a deeper "doum".


Which type of drumhead is included with this Doumbek?
A goatskin head. The popular, natural goatskin head provides lower, more subtle tones. Manufacturers might use this type of drum head on bodhrans, tambourines, frame drums, some doumbeks, and African style drums, such as the djembe and ashiko. We do not recommend beating this drumhead with a mallet.
