Meinl doumbek with an Egyptian look
The Meinl AEED1 Artisan Egyptian Doumbek is a handmade doumbek from Egypt with an 8 3/4 inch diameter. This darbuka combines an authentic Egyptian mosaic finish with refined real mother-of-pearl inlay, giving you an instrument that stands out visually while staying focused on practical performance.
The well-balanced shape feels comfortable in the hands and makes this Meinl doumbek suitable for serious percussionists looking for a traditionally styled instrument with clear performance intent.
Construction and sound of the Artisan Edition doumbek
The body is cast from solid aluminium and, at 3850 grams, has a substantial weight. You notice that in a bright, powerful sound and in a stable feel while playing.
According to the stated features, this doumbek produces excellent dums and taks or teks: the low and high strokes that define the character of this type of hand drum. The included tuning key lets you adjust the head tension. At Magna Music, you can also get personal advice from musicians in the shop when putting together a suitable percussion setup.
