David is on tour with Dead Can Dance as we speak and is a fantastic percusionist. I saw the group at the Universal Ampitheater. It was a night I will never forget. Thank you David for bringing your art to the stage where many can appreciate it.
I think this guy can clearly play alot better than it shows here. This is an extremely good clip for a beginer. I must say though as a Turk my self I think that these other Turks that have posted disrespectful comments should be ashamed. They should be pleasured that a foreigner is playing our instrument but instead they are acting like idiots.. Grow up
What a wonderful teacher! Thank you so much for making an instructional video that really works with how we learn. It almost feels like you're here with me teaching me in person! :)
The 'doum' is played just a little off center. He is playing it correctly. I should know I play and perform myself. This is a good clip for anyone begining to play tha Darbuka, thanks for posting.
I would say... when you play a 'dum' stroke, your fingers are together but not cupped and you move 'towards the inside part of the drum'. When you play the 'pa' stroke, your fingers are cupped and you must think the drum is hot, your hand bounces back immediately or... it is just like slapping someone's face (sorry, I can't think of a better description). I hope it helps :-)
This word (Pa[h]) may came from framedrum play techniques, where the slap stroke called this way, and played almost the same. See his framedrum instructions!
yeah these videos are very helpful and all but is it common to feel pain in the palms because my palms are red. i realize i may be hitting too hard but if i dont i dont get the desired sound. can you understand my frustration?
@Gretsche87 Use your ring finger, it's kind of like flicking your wrist. Maybe if I get my camera working I can post a tutorial or something. There seems to be a lot of people having trouble with that sort of thing.
I have been playing guitar forever and I wanted a hand drum to add flavor to my recordings....im a huge deadhead and a HUGE reggae freak and I love to watch and listen to drum circles so I bought a 8" schalloch alluminum darbuka and will come in mail...was this a good investment???
@allstarswag Hopefully by now you've made a choice :-) but I'd say use what ever finger(s), (and even drum position!), works best for you. If you are getting the sounds you want and you aren't hurting your hands, then you are doing nothing wrong in my book!
I don't understand the difference between the Doum stroke and the Pa stroke. Could someone please explain. Otherwise, the video is really great! Thank you so much! 5 *'s =D
now this is how a beginner video suppose to be!! nice and slow!
i am getting this video!!!
you are the best teacher of the year!
You and Chas Whitiker - fantastic tuition videos. 10/10
