Amazing Street Doumbek( Goblet Drum) Kid drummer
Amazing Street Doumbek(Goblet Drum) Kid drummer Doumbek (goblet drum) is a single head membranophone with agoblet shaped body used mostly in the Middle East, North Africa, South Asia, and Eastern Europe. The origin of the term darabukka probably lies in the Arabic word darab ( to strike ). The original use of goblet drums in Babylonia and Sumer dates from as early as 1100 BCE. On Celebes one large form serves as a temple instrument, set on the floor when performed, which could be a survival of the ancient use of the drum. There are three main sounds produced by the goblet drum. The first is called the doum. It is the deeper bass sound produced by striking the head near the center with the length of the fingers and palm and taking off the hand for an open sound. The second is called the tek and is the higherpitched sound produced by hitting near the edge of the head with the fingertips. A tek struck with the secondary hand is also known as a ka. The third is the closed sound pa, resting rapidly
