VERY useful, thank you. The whole keeping the fingers really loose thing, the way you described it, was really helpful. Relatively new to the Turkish split finger technique, I've been struggling with how to make the left hand finger "Pop!" and this did the trick!
Thank you so much for this lesson. I knew this technique, but I was stuck because I couldn't find a more musical way of practicing it. You gave me a great push forward. Thanks man.
Thanks for the great video Geoff! I've built several public playlists of Darbuka instructional videos, and this is at the top of the split-finger list!
Firstly, I want to say that your tutorial helped me a lot, and you should continue with things like this and secondly I want to ask you what the 0.00-0.12 rythm is?Could you please show me in letters?
Weird--I replied to this weeks ago but don't see my reply now. So imagine the face of your drum is like the face of a big round wall clock. The top is 12:00, the bottom is 6:00, by your right hand is 9:00, and to the left is 3:00. Make sense?
looks pretty nice! and great darbuka lesson by the way. i`m still struggling like hell with my left pointer. just not enough power to get a decent ka :(
Thanks! And don't worry; everybody struggles with the left pointer. Relax, make it limp, twist the wrist, and let gravity help a little. It takes a lot of reps to get it down.
finally someone with proper explanation skills, thanks soooo much, i was about to give up, you're a saviour !!!
Nice, sounds good and is fun to practice, a double : win , win. Thanks for the vid, glad its still up after all this time... -Cheers

How is this different to the other split hand technique (double ka)?
This one alternates left and right hands.
What do you mean by: "'I like about 10:00 for the tek and 12:00-1:00 fot the ka"?
