Why you need the Meinl Aluminum Doumbek Hand Hammered:
The Meinl Doumbek has a completely hand-hammered shell for a most appealing look. Meinl Doumbeks come from the same geographical points of origin as the darbukas, and are a favorite choice of drum for percussionists world-wide. These doumbeks feature an ergonomic, Egyptian-style rounded rim with internal tuning lugs and a synthetic head. The bearing edge is carefully machined to assure consistent tuning. The doumbeks are well suited for fast finger-roll techniques and have a strong projection.
Meinl includes a carrying bag, synthetic head, spare head, and tuning key with the aluminum doumbek.
