17" Percussion Gawharet El Fan Metal Pro Darbuka Drum Doumbek

Originally, I liked the look of the Copper drum body with the Remo Orange Swirl head, but it looks even better now that In the sun, the inside of the drum body has a nice, medium blue finish that looks good out there. I thought the sound was fine, but it may require some personalization to suit your A drum works the same way as any other. It was important for me to remove the top ring to check it out and level the head this allowed me to tune it to my liking. Drum heads fit pretty tightly into the top ring of the drum. After the bolts were tightened and the entire system was leveled, it sounds exactly the way I wanted.

It was very helpful to have my queries and requests answered by the vendor. I was pleased with the quick shipping and the packaging was good A box that is padded and sealed. This instrument has a cast metal body that gives you a good feel and weight when you are playing it. It is much lighter to use other brands of aluminum sheet which I own, and I can tell It has a transparent head with El-type sensors It is quite good and does a decent job of delivering sound through the Doumbek's fan design. The replacement head is the one I want while I get the REMO -I will definitely use this! It is planned to alternate between We would like to remind you that the REMO head does NOT come pre-assembled Tuning keys are not included in the installed package or in the package itself. The extra head/s and the carrying bag are all that are included. If you are going to tune and replace the head, be sure to have a 5 mm Hex Allen key nearby. It would also be advisable to watch some YouTube videos about Doumbek/Darbuka skin and head My first step was to heat up the skin several times with a hair dryer to stretch the skin enough to align the collar with it - you can see this in the video For a synthetic head, I'm not certain if this is necessary, but I went ahead and did it. Following a couple of days of stretching (again, as shown in a video), I was able to loosen the stretched head/skin a little bit and now I'm getting awesome sound with booming "Dums" and sharp, metallic "Teks"! As mentioned, the carry bag is not really padded however, it is quite big for its size. This bag is very thin and it has several tears in the places where the metal body rests on it. Even though it could be better quality, it's good enough for me The dust has been kept at bay so far due to this free fixture! To fix them, I used some duct tape for now. I would consider a better bag as I have become a true fan of Gawharet El fan Doumbek!.

As well as being indestructible, it looks good as well. There is an appropriate weight and it is You can leave it where you want it to stay. The surface of the fabric is slightly imperfect, but that is what gives the fabric its charm. It does not have the Gawharet emblem on the plastic heads, and they are not very good quality. There's a bit of a sting in it for me! In fact, it even makes me wonder whether it's an authentic Gawharet El Fan (it is completely devoid of any indications). If I had to replace the head I would make sure it was of better quality. There is nothing good about this bag and it looks cheap. Upon further inspection, it does not seem like it will last long, but if it is a Gawharet El Fan drum, you cannot expect too much for the price. My purchase is satisfactory and assures me that it will be played for years, if not decades to come. You will enjoy the loud, robust and crisp sound of the music (once you have learned how to play it properly). There are no tiny, tin-sized insects Sounds like Gawharet El Fan. Maybe that is his signature sound.

Even after reading the reviews regarding the problems with how this item is shipped, I still ordered it even though I figured that it couldn't be that bad. Returning the item was the best thing to do. Some of the screws on both heads were rusted and both heads were scratched and dented. Since I purchased it as a gift, I didn't want it to appear.

It is also worth noting that the replacement synthetic head is so inferior that it cannot be used. It doesn't meet our expectations I will not buy this product.
