Learning to play the darbouka

In progress

Overview

Learn to play, with some level of confidence and competence, 5 basic patterns on the darbouka (Egyptian tabla / goblet drum / moroccan hand drum).

Background

I have played percussion, in one way or another, for decades, now. I’ve done orchestral percussion, played on a drum kit, done drum circles, made beats, etc. I love the sound of mediterranean / middle eastern / north african music, particularly the percussion and grooves.

I would not be exaggerating to say that I have wanted to learn to play the darbouka for 2 decades. Some friends are currently loaning me theirs, though I intend to buy my own soon.
