Karşılama and aksak are different usuls. This surely karşılama. Both are 9. Aksak goes like. D - T K D - T - T

Any recommendations for someone wanting to purchase an entry level Darbuka?

[@kenshorley]

Hi Nicola. The two main darbuka offerings by most drum companies are those made from copper or aluminum. I prefer the sound of the copper ones but aluminum is much more affordable for a first darbuka. Meinl has some entry-level darbuka that are quite well made. In general, I would recommend a tunable darbuka with a plastic head. There are two styles as well, the Egyptian style (which has a rounded edge where the drum head attaches to the body of the drum) and the Turkish style (which I prefer) like the one in this video. Hope this helps!
