The New Generation Darbuka Drum: Perfect for Beginners and Pros Alike

New Generation Darbuka Drum – The Perfect Balance of Power and Comfort

The Darbuka Drum from our New Generation series is designed for musicians who want more from their instrument. With a skin diameter of 8.6 inches (22 cm), this model sits perfectly between the standard darbuka and the larger sombaty plus, giving you enhanced sound without the added weight.

Why This Darbuka Drum Was Created

Many players asked for a darbuka that delivers sharper treble tones than the traditional size, yet doesn’t weigh as much as a sombaty. The New Generation darbuka drum delivers exactly that—combining a bright, punchy sound with lightweight portability. It’s built to give you the best of both worlds.

Who Will Love This Darbuka Drum?

This model is ideal for players of all ages and sizes—especially for those who want a powerful sound without the burden of a heavy drum. Whether you're a young musician, a woman looking for a lighter darbuka drum, or a shorter player wanting better comfort and reach, this model was made with you in mind.

Handcrafted Quality, Inside and Out

Every New Generation darbuka drum is handmade using traditional techniques. The intricate inlays—crafted from either mother of pearl or acrylic—are carefully cut and set by hand, a process handed down through generations of artisans.

How Quickly Can You Master the Darbuka Drum?

There’s no one-size-fits-all answer. Some players use this darbuka drum for studio recordings, weddings, and live events, while others use it as their go-to for daily practice. Your progress will depend on your dedication, passion, and practice routine.

What we can say with confidence is this: once you start playing the New Generation darbuka drum, it’s hard to stop. Its beauty will turn heads, and its sound will keep your rhythm flowing.
