This Egyptian Gawharet El Fan drum is an authentic classic designed darbuka.This superb instrument has a beautiful and powerful sound, making it perfect for accompanying your gathering anywhere you go.6 bolts head drumThis superb instrument has a beautiful and powerful soundBody Cast Metal body.L Tuning tool Carry case 17" - (43.50cm) highHead Diameter - 8.75" (22.22cm)Remo Black Mist Drum Head 8.75'' - includedPlease note - Some of the syntactic plastic heads arrive from manufacture with minor scratches. That does not affect the sound or quality of the drum. All drums are brand new and were never used.We make sure every drum is usable, and that the outer design isn't damaged before shipping

Review: Great Drum! - This is a really good drum and I am very pleased with this purchase. Vendor was very helpful with my queries and requests. Shipping was prompt with a well-padded and sealed box. The cast metal body is heavy and sturdy and gives you a good feel while playing. I own other brands made of aluminum sheet which are much lighter, and I can see the difference. The transparent stock head with El-fan writing/emblem that comes installed with the Doumbek is pretty good and gives decent sound projection. I’m definitely going to use this even though I got the REMO replacement head - Planning to alternate them. Please note that the REMO head do NOT come pre-installed and package do NOT come with a tuning key. It comes just with additional head/s and a carry bag. Make sure you get a 5 mm Hex Allen Key for tuning and replacing the head. I would also suggest looking up some YT videos on Doumbek/Darbuka head/skin replacement. I heated up the head/skin with a hair dryer several time as shown in a video to stretch so that I can align the metal collar with the skin - I’m not sure if this is really needed for a synthetic head, but I did it anyway. I loosened the stretched head/skin a little bit after a couple of days (again as mentioned in a video) and now I’m getting amazing sound with booming "Dum"s and sharp, metallic "Tek"s!!! The carry bag is not really padded as mentioned - it’s very thin and had several tears at places where the metal body rested on the bag. I wish it was of better quality but hey - it comes free and kept the drum dust free so far! I Used some duct tape to patch them up for now and will definitely go for a better bag as this Gawharet El fan Doumbek has become a prized possession!
Review: Best sounding Darbuka! - Sounds Amazing! Great build and the remo top skin sounds very good.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best sounding Darbuka!
*by E***H on June 10, 2025*

Sounds Amazing! Great build and the remo top skin sounds very good.

### ⭐⭐⭐ The drum/case package was not up to my expectations.
*by S***I on April 12, 2025*

The drum is very deep toned, and has no room for tightening for a higher pitch. The zipper on the case is broken, once unzipped, can't be zipped again.
