Darbuka Sombaty Fatila II

The Sombaty shape is especially appreciated in Egyptian and Lebanese playing styles. Thanks to its larger size and heavier weight, this darbuka offers excellent stability and allows musicians to produce deep and powerful bass tones.

With its generous dimensions (48 cm height and approximately 6.2 kg), the instrument delivers strong projection and a wide dynamic range between deep bass tones (doum) and crisp high tones (tek and ka).

Each darbuka is handcrafted by the artisans of Gawharet El Fan, one of the most respected Egyptian manufacturers of professional oriental percussion instruments.

Before shipping, every instrument is carefully inspected and adjusted by our team to ensure optimal sound quality.

The darbuka comes with a padded gig bag, a spare drumhead and a tuning key.

Please note: the installed and spare drumheads are made from recycled plastic and may sometimes show minor cosmetic marks without affecting the sound quality.
