Darbuka skins often sound best when tuned to a particular tension-level. But the pitch your drum sounds best at may not be ideal for all the songs you want to play.
For example, Gawharet el Fan Sombaty drums, in my experience, usually sound best tuned to around A#. That's not great if the song you're playing is in A or D. In this video, I give you a work-around for instantly dropping the pitch of your drum a half or whole step.
For tuning your doumbek, I recommend getting a good tuner with a 'mic' setting, like the red Snarks I use in this video. They only cost about $12.
