[@radeck6917]

Super! Dzięki za krótkie i treściwe wprowadzenie :)

[@FromThanatosToSol]

I just got my darbuka from meinl yesterday. Thanks for this tutorial! It makes it even for someone who usually isn't that adept with his hands easy to learn it. I appreciate that!

[@TomRolfe]

"Whoah, did you see that? That's amazing!" Thanks a lot, I nearly spit my drink on my keyboard. :-) Love it! Thanks though. I play a little djembe, but love the sound of the Darkuba and want to try it!

[@SoundsFromNowhere]

Merytorycznie i bardzo fajnie przeprowadzona lekcja ! Świetnie !

Karol you're so patient and inspirational. thanks a lot for sharing these tutorials! i'm a self taught player and i realised how many minute details in the techniques that i've missed out on, and thanks to you i can improve my playing in so many ways :)

What a great teacher you are. Thank you.

[@ordabis]

Karol, I just bought a couple of Darbukas and we find your tutorials are the best. Very easy to understand, Easy to follow along as our skill grows with each lesson. We really like the fact that you include visual notation. Thanks for posting!

[@faridshaikh3356]

Subscribed after 10 yrs... is a record in itself...😃

[@AliceJonez33]

What a wonderful video!! you are a great teacher!!! Thank you!

[@roan6903]

Your free lessons are far better than certain web site's paid-for gold package lessons.

[@MichaelCornelio-Kona]

I enjoy your videos. You are a gifted darbuka teacher. Clear. Concise. Fun :-)

[@BanginAwayBear]

I appreciate your instruction videos and so do several members of our hand drum circle/event group. We all play (attempt to play) various types and are beginning to discover that some of the techniques are applicable to other hand drums. Personally, I really enjoy my doumbeks (darbukas, etc) and a good instructor, like yourself, is a welcome find, here in small town USA. Thanks again.

[@fikritenjek8519]

thank you for giving me inspiration and I get to know about darbuka. thank you very much..........

Thank you so much! You just saved my life! I have to play a gig next week on the Darbuka and I've never played it before. At least now I know how to hold it right and how to stroke it :-) In case there are some arabs in the audience ;-)

[@JokaLightFr]

Thanks a lot KarWil for this great tutorial ! It has been very helpful. I'm making a translation in french of all these tutorial videos for a friend, but it would be a shame not to share it with everyone. The problem is I don't have any idea on how to include subtitles on a video ! If anyone feels like doing it, I'll try posting the translations as a comment for each video, feel free to use and broadcast it ;-)

[@UzPrincess]

Thanks a lot!!! Greetings from Mexico...

[@S4ngheli05]

Great tutorial! Really helped me, thank you mate! :)

[@dennismealor9612]

I have played Darbuka in my own way for some time - having played for belly dance groups (have been a drum teacher - drum kit - for some 30 years, and rock drummer even longer playing pubs and clubs. But these days prefer hand drums such as congas, tabla and the Darbuka. But I finally want to learn Darbuka in a traditional, correct way. So, here I am. I have perused many, many You Tube sites on this, and I find this one the best - have looked through a pile of your lessons, and they make sense, and are in such good order from beginning to more advanced. This is good teaching with no showing off before a student is ready. Some off-beat humour also helps, ha ha. Too many music teachers can be too serious about it all :) Full marks, Karol ! Will be studying all your You Tube lessons over the next few months and beyond. Cheers, and Thank you! Dennis (Australia).

[@JessicaChiavegato]
