Constructed with thin shells in various metals, MEINL have presented musicians with a special Aluminium Darbuka that seamlessly produces light yet powerful deep, full bass as well as high-pitched snapping sounds and a wide range of articulated strokes. This diverse sound profile is largely credited to intelligent design, which has paid homage to tradition but pushed into the modern era with top quality materials like a tunable and replaceable synthetic head, tuning key, and 5-1/3" aluminum body.
