The Sumbati Profrssional Doumbek is the middle sized drum in this family of instruments and offers both deeper tones than the classic, but clear and bright high notes. The mother of pearl work on this drum features images of birds and flowers along with other beautiful images.

The deeper sounds that this drum can create are perfect for adding roundness to an accompaniment. While this drum can be played alone and sounds beautiful while doing so, it shines the most as a supporting member in a group of instruments.

The skin used on this darbuka is Nile sturgeon from Egypt and it produces a very warm sound that is good for recording.  The appearance of this darbuka is perfect for a player who wants to have a more traditional appearance.
