What is drum arabic?

Drum arabic, also known as the darbuka, is a traditional Arab percussion instrument that has been used for centuries in Middle Eastern music. It is shaped like an hourglass and is typically made from clay, metal, or wood.

The darbuka produces a deep, resonant sound with a distinct pitch and tone. It is played with the hands and fingers, and skilled players can create a wide range of rhythms and sounds on the instrument.

Traditionally, the darbuka was used in ceremonial and religious events, as well as in folk music and dance. Today, it is a popular instrument in contemporary Arabic music and is used in a variety of genres, including pop, rock, and hip-hop.

Drumming circles and workshops have also become increasingly popular, with people from all over the world learning the techniques and rhythms of the darbuka.
