Hey, I'm not sure if anyone has asked this question but what is the price range of the drums in this store? My parents are going over this year and I'd love for them to get me one, I just need to give them the money before they leave. Thanks!
Hi - The price of most things in Egypt are not fixed and can be negotiated. The price you or anyone else, may finally get will depend on many factors. It is almost impossible to tell you what the drums will / may cost, as this depends soley on the relationship you build up between yourself and the seller. You really need to do this in person but please remember for those of you who can not do so - I pick the best I find and sell them at my website arabicdrum.co.uk
ah, Mr Hassan! did he take you to the back room? It's a bit weird but fascinating. I got my mother of pearl fishskin there. He's not cheap though and certainly there's no double pricing for anyone as far as I could discover.
He doesn't make the drums apparently. He's just the outlet. Some warehouse somewhere else does the graft.
It could be a "large" sumbati simply because of the proportions. A doholla of the same size might have different proportions. IE a sumbati has the narrowist part of the drum dead centre. As well I think the diametre is half the height. So a Sumbati has "square" proportions.
I didn't count the bolts or buy the drum - they were calling these models - Super Doholla !!

This is a nice Daholla, a big 9-hole-tabla, you're playing, isn't it..?

Chas, what a coup! That sambati looked huge, more like a dhola.

Yes I was surpised - I would say it was a Doholla too but he kept insisting it was a Sumbati - didn't want to argue!
