Description:
The doumbek is a goblet-shaped hand drum used mostly in music originating in countries near the Middle East. Its thin, responsive drumhead and resonance help it produce a distinctively crisp sound.
Traditionally, goblet drums may be made of clay, metal or wood. Modern drums are also sometimes made of synthetic materials, including fiberglass. Modern metal drums are commonly made of aluminum or copper. Traditional drum heads were animal skin, commonly goat and also fish. Modern drums commonly use synthetic materials, including mylar and fiberglass.
