Darbuka Digital Pro Offline

The popularity of darbuka lies in the fact that it has a wide range of varieties

The origin of the Egyptian Arabic term darabukka probably lies in the Arabic word "darab" ("to strike"). Goblet drums were seen in Babylonia and Sumer dates from as early as 1100 BCE. On Celebes one large form serves as a temple instrument, set on the floor when performed, which could be a survival of the ancient use of the drum.
