This is the first time i ever comment on a video. I’m Lebanese and this drum is in every household played at every gathering. I have been wanting to learn it for the longest time and I recently just purchased one. Your videos are very very educational and informative! I really love this series and can’t wait to get better!

Thank you for your fantastic job. I have been able to follow along with you, which I have not be able to with others. It's a little bit funny that I am practicing the rhythms following you explanations without even having a Darbuka yet. (It's actually in its way to me, but I cannot wait to to start learning). All these rhythms I managed to practice on the back and on the side of an baritone ukulele...;) I also want to thank you for your insights about the printed Remo fish skin. I just purchased one of those. I will probably change the skin on my upcoming Sombaty Darbuka with this skin, so I feel even more motivated with a better sound from the beginning. I am also into Bulgarian rhythms and learning to play the kaval as well. I was trying to get the groove of your example of 9/8 Karsilama, but I could not feel it. I have had to discern some dances and what people do with their clapping hands, to be able to grasp the groove of 5/8, 7/8, and 9/8. then based on your version of Karsilama, and thinking it faster, this way make more sense to me: (let me know what you think please!): Dk Tk Dk Tkk - Dk Tk Dk Tkk. (1-2 1-2 1-2 1-2-3) It Would be very interesting to me how Bulgarians would play this rhythm on the Darbuka...

I love your videos, its the best material I can find that teaches darbuka😊 I have a question: How would you structure what you play if you would just play in front of some people on your own? And how do you do that if you play together with people? So far I'm just having lots of fun practising at home, but if I was to do so in front of some friends, I wouldn't know how to..

@geoffchilders Жыл бұрын

Thanks for the kind words. I suppose what I would play in front of people depends on what the scenario is. Am I playing a drum solo for a dancer, jamming with other musicians, or something else? It might be good to learn the drum parts to some songs; you don't need to learn them note for note, but just be able to groove with the beats the song uses. Once you've learned the beats from my "10 Rhythms" videos, you should be able to figure out the beats to lots of classic bellydance songs.

Thank you for these! I'm currently favouring the thumb myself but greatly see why the rest of these pops are valuable expressions worthwhile mastering...or at least attempting to. PS am I correct in assuming you also deeply appreciate middle eastern progressive metal fusions too?

@geoffchilders Жыл бұрын

Who do you like for middle eastern progressive metal fusion? I make music in that subgenre, but I'm not that familiar with who else is doing it.

hi. After one and a half months, still practicing the 4/4ths. Can i, according to the first, write the hits and practice walking maksoum and walking baladi, following the basic rythms?

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

Never heard of anyone else doing this, but I do it. I like it with some of my favourite latin music, like Celia Cruz.

03:58 but relaxing the fingers to "limp" condition makes all neighbour fingers to strike the drum as well *(they also get limp - and gravity and inertia makes them to strike the drum)... When i try to strike Ka with the limp ring finger - my limp middle finger lands a strike too. Same problem with the index, my my middle finger also lands and produce a double strike. How do you isolate the ring and index fingers from the rest of hand? Selective "limping" keeping middle finger stiff "at demand"? I dont get it, I can relax all the fingers at the same time - or none.

@geoffchilders Жыл бұрын

You want to keep your middle finger fairly straight. It should be straight enough to avoid hitting the drum but still relaxed.
