Authentic Clay Dumbek with Natural Skin Head
Rediscover the roots of Middle Eastern percussion with the Jawharat Salmeen Clay Tabla. Long before modern metal drums, the resonant sound of the clay dumbek echoed through the streets and gatherings of our region. We have revived this tradition right here in our workshop in Kuwait, to offer you an instrument with unparalleled warmth and character.
The soul of this drum is its fired clay shell. This natural material provides an earthy, rich bass tone (the "doum") that is both powerful and melodic. Paired with a taut, natural skin head, it produces the high-pitched, cutting "tek" and "ka" sounds with brilliant articulation. The interplay between these tones gives this dumbek a dynamic range that will inspire both the beginner and the professional percussionist.
Whether you are accompanying an Oud player, leading the rhythm in a traditional ensemble, or exploring the world of hand percussion, this doumbek is your perfect partner. It is more than just an instrument; it's a piece of our musical heritage, crafted with care and ready to bring authentic rhythm into your hands.
