Drum description: We consider this doumbek to be a doholla (bass doumbek). The ceramic shell yields warm, beautiful tones and the goat skin head enhances the bass tones.

Customer Review:

"The drum arrived yesterday in good condition.

"Considering the cost, it is a nice hand-made folk instrument. It indeed has a deep earthy bass and a tek/ka high tone quite unlike the ones I owned. I assume this is what traditional doumbeks used to sound like until modern times when metal and plastic are used in their construction. Because it has a real goat skin head, it feels different too when I play it as I can really sense the vibration. All in all, it makes a nice addition to my collection.

"Thanks again for your help,
"Dominic"
