Sombaty Max Darbuka The Golden Peacock #20074

Golden Peacock – Sombaty Max Darbuka by Arab Instruments

Introducing the Golden Peacock Sombaty Max Darbuka, an exclusive new model developed by Arab Instruments for professional players seeking a deeper, more commanding sound without stepping up to the larger Dohola drums.

The Sombaty Max represents a new size in our professional darbuka lineup. Standing approximately 20 inches (51 cm) tall and equipped with a larger 9.4-inch (24 cm) drumhead, it delivers a noticeably deeper bass response than the traditional Sombaty Plus while maintaining the speed, balance, and comfort that professional darbuka players love.

This unique size fills the gap between a standard Sombaty and a Dohola, creating an instrument with exceptional projection, powerful low frequencies, and remarkably sharp Tak strokes.

Handcrafted Golden Peacock Artwork

The Golden Peacock is more than a musical instrument — it is a handcrafted work of art.

Each darbuka is individually decorated by the master maker with an elegant golden peacock surrounded by intricate floral ornaments. The shell is enriched with genuine white mother of pearl together with rare blue abalone pearls imported from the coasts of Australia and New Zealand, creating a stunning contrast that changes beautifully under stage lighting.

Every detail is applied by hand, making each instrument slightly unique.

Built for Powerful Performance

The larger shell of the Sombaty Max produces an impressive low-end response with a rich, resonant Doom while preserving crisp, articulate Tak sounds.

This model is especially appreciated by professional solo darbuka players, stage performers seeking greater projection, musicians looking for a unique tonal character, Moroccan percussion players who prefer a deeper traditional sound, and players who want something beyond the standard Sombaty without moving to the larger Dohola size.

Exclusive Arab Instruments Open Structure

Like our premium Sombaty Plus models, the Golden Peacock features the famous Arab Instruments Open Structure.

This exclusive construction method reduces unwanted resonance inside the shell, producing a cleaner, more focused tone with excellent projection and remarkable responsiveness.

It is one of the signature features that makes Arab Instruments darbukas instantly recognizable in both sound and performance.

Precision 8-Peg Tuning System

The Golden Peacock is equipped with 8 professional tuning lugs, providing accurate tuning, excellent tuning stability, even head tension, and reliable performance during rehearsals and live concerts.

Whether you prefer a deep traditional tuning or a tighter modern setup, the 8-peg system allows precise adjustments with confidence.

What's Included

• Soft padded darbuka carrying case
• Protective darbuka head cover
• Professional tuning key
• Extra Arab Instruments replacement doumbek skin

A New Voice for Professional Darbuka Players

The Golden Peacock Sombaty Max was created for musicians searching for a sound that stands apart. It combines the comfort and agility of the Sombaty design with the deeper voice and greater projection of a larger instrument, offering a unique playing experience that few darbukas can match.

If you have been searching for a darbuka with richer bass, sharper attack, exceptional craftsmanship, and a truly distinctive appearance, the Golden Peacock Sombaty Max is ready to become the centerpiece of your performance.
