The little tin / Aluminium ones...

[a0e0roberts]

Best doumbek for the cost? He he. One you MAKE. For $16 for the drumhead and about $10 worth of clay, I make a KILLER drum.

If you have never thown a large clay bowl on a wheel, you could be able to find someone who can.

[RENEDU2]

[Megalon85]

I love that he replaces the Ks and Ts entirely with ascending pops when he plays the Soumbati!

[dinavienna]

what a likeable instructor :)

[AyzieBone]

great tutorial thanks! but there is something i still don't understand... what does the 4/4 means?? in other videos i saw 6/4 8/4 but i still don't understand it... could somebody explain it to me please??

[iggytse]

The first number in a time signature represents the count, so how many beats in one bar. So 4/4 means there is 4 beats, 6/8 has 6 beats etc. That is probably all that beginners what need to know. you can check wiki to find out more details on time signatures.

[angelgothprincess]

Something to do with the beats and/or timing

[spikemelon]

excellent !!! THANK YOU MUCH !!!

MUSICIANS WILL UNITE MANKIND IN A UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE OF COOPERATION AND APPRECIATION !!!!!

[josephine2]

Hi Amir!

I think that you explain very well..

Nice..

Heidi..

[naro36]

I have a derbakeh for like many years and i got better by playing on my right side as in.. i play the derbakeh with my right hand and i practince alot to get my fingers loosen up and to go fast but it just doesnt cut it yani... is it because i play on the right and ive tried playing on the left its freakin hard and i just cant cut it ....

[MsTURKIYE]

I have an Egyptian Professional style Darbuka...In my

case I started playing naturally with out much lessons

involved...If you got rhythm in your hands and your

musically inclined it shouldnt be a problem..although

I dont know much rhythms..this is a good video to

start with..Where can i get it?

[ariblueyes]

I just got a doumbek, I totally recommend it for newbies and oldies. It has so many sounds and always has a wonderful beat. I love it and have had so much fun so far. And this is a good, helpful video

[aspkir]

I have a fucking drum but it doesnt sound like that makes me go crazy

[sfinkx]

derbuk-what? it's called a tubla. Amir's Egyptian and he's teahcing you Egyptian style tubla. You can get tublas from most middle eastern stores. And from Egypt where of course you can pick them up for very cheap, $10 for a reasonably good one for example.

[manisaFB]

I LİKE DARBUKA SÜPER

[dragon20028787]

Cut the teaching crap, just play the drum god dam it

[subbasshead]

[firshania]

it is your computer, cauz I don't have any problem with the audio on this video.

[persianlolita2002]

where can i get that drum?

[isavaya]

persianlolita2002, i have one of those drums for sale... it's called a darbuka or tablee or dumbuk... let me know if you're interested

[mcnikkawot]

heyyy r u still selling your darbuka?? if yes how much

[ooosupra92ooo]

This is a good video to help one learn the Doumbek.

[CCrazy42]

ehlen listen its bin a year at leats i have a darbuka could u help to learn tricks?

[KathrynDedman]

So how long has everyone been playing for? I learnt when I was about 10.

[ytcomposer]

Finally someone puts an instructional of this great instrument, especially Arabic style. My fav. :D You has ben subscribeded. :)

[alan1963]

I'm a percussionist, played some good percussion instruments....I could easily play dombek with or without a bellydancer during drum solo. And I also play piano and keyboards. Man, that is so great!!

[lotterydreams]

As I bellydancer, I find this comment really strange. There should be a dialogue between the dancer and drummer. The drummer should be responding to signs from the dancer to change rhythms and things. I don't really get what you were meaning at all. This little video clip was really interesting - I'll have to search out the DVD!

Best wishes

[Khalilullah]

In the Arab countries, most of the dancing is done not by bellydancers, but by audience. The majority of the music is not performed with Bellydancers, but is performed for regular people to dance. The drumming tradition exist independent of the dancing, so drummers do not "need" a bellydancer to exist. ;)

[MrPitAdVitam]

This is nice, I have to learn the name of the rithms, the video is too short ><, it would be more helpful if longer, still, great. =)

[isfahani]

Yeah, it does, but then the terminology floats a little doesen't it? While he's obviously got something going, I have to wonder about people who play with their hand bent at that angle from the arm when they are playing Tek especially...

[iggytse]

I just had a 3 hour workshop with Hossam Ramzy. Apparently the bent hand where the finger contacts the between 10 and 11 oclock is an Egyptian style. So instead of moving the hand horizontal for Doum and Tak, it moves vertically.

[KathrynDedman]

what did you think of Hossam Ramzy? My mum danced with him once and found him to be rude.

[iggytse]

Apparently he use to be quite rude. I think age and fatherhood has toned him down. He was quite nice when I met him.

[Khalilullah]

the right hand is bent at the wrist so that the wrist is not supporting the weight of the tek hand; this allows for more flexibility and speed. The left hand has the index and thumb pinched together to limit the lateral movement of the fingers, focusing the weight of the fingers downward. This is perfect classical technique.

[tablah69]

khalilluhah's got it right. relaxing your entire hand and wrist will vastly improve you skills. This is really an ergonomic position contrary to what most people think, tension is what causes injury especially on the tak not a soft wrist. Amir's technique in this dvd is conservatorty style, much like Souhail Kaspar or Issam Houshan.

[iggytse]

Quite interesting. I personally would at most use two fingers, the ring and middle finger, for the tak. This would land between 9 and 10 oclock.

The technique in Saidi is quite professional with Doum, Ka and Suk, no Taks.

That rhythm called soumbati sounds a lot like Chiftatelli.
