darbuka drum
Entering the term "Darbuka" in my search engine, the first thing that appears is the image of a Simbat Egypt. Though the fact that I know this is a musical instrument, I am immediately struck by her physical beauty more than her musical potential. Hand with a background of color of lapis lazuli and a complex system of birds and flowers, this drum-shaped calyx have little out of place in an alcove designed for a work of art. Of course, for those who understand it, a chalice drum is something to play rather than watch.
The name "Darbuka" is derived from the shape of the instrument, which is substantially cup-like. This instrument is rather localized in its traditional origins, which are essentially Mediterranean and Middle – Eastern, although Thailand, Laos and West Africa all have their own versions. Examples of this recommendation, including: tabush "of Egypt," toumberleki "of Greece, darbuka" of Israel and "zairbaghali" of Afghanistan. The goblet drum is particularly common in the Islamic world, and the design of the instrument is generally considered quite old, it are even those who suggest that his invention was earlier than the chair. Regardless of this particular detail, the Darbuka can be safely assumed to be one of the ancient instruments of human civilization.
The body of the instrument is usually made of pottery, wood or metal. It has a single thin skin drum of animal skin or material of human origin, and the sound of this head is typically crisp. When it is played by expert, the goblet drum may be made to produce two different and distinct sound. The deeper of the two is called a dum, "and this has created striking the head near its center, with the length of the fingers and palm. Over a sharp, produced by striking the side of the head with the fingertips, is called a tek. " Other more complex techniques including snaps, slaps, POP and rolls, may also be used. In some areas f Bulgaria, Turkey and Egypt, the drummers sometimes use a thin stick in one hand while the other remains empty.
Goblet Drums May in fact be divided into two categories, those of the Egyptian style and those of Turkey. The first is characterized by rounded edges around the head, while the latter exposes the edges. This difference helps to explain some of the signatures of two styles of interpretation. For example, the Egyptian style features quick rolls, but they are discouraged by the hard edges of Turkish battery cup. However, such edges can also improve access to the head enabling technologies associated with snapping Turkish participation.
There are two positions to take the Darbuka, either under the arm or between knees. There are a variety of rhythms used with this instrument, called collectively "dumbek" rhythms, and they extend under of traditional folk music of modern dance. The goblet drum has even been used in some European classical compositions such as opera "The Trojans".
