Aluminum Darbukas

The Aluminum Darbuka is the workhorse of the modern percussion world. Made from cast aluminum, these drums are favored for their incredible durability and bright, powerful projection. Unlike Clay Darbukas, which are fragile and sensitive to weather, aluminum drums are impervious to humidity and temperature changes. This makes them the ultimate choice for outdoor performances, traveling musicians, and street drumming. In our collection, you will primarily find the Turkish Darbuka style in aluminum, known for its sharp "Tak" and clear "Doum" that cuts through any mix.

Aluminum is also a versatile canvas for art. While the base material ensures a consistent, high-pitched sound, the exterior is often finished with durable electrostatic powder coating or intricate paints, as seen in our Black or White Darbukas collections. This material is lighter than copper, making it easier to hold for long sessions without fatigue. It is the perfect entry point for students; our aluminum models are cost-effective yet professional-grade, bridging the gap between Mini Darbukas and high-end solo instruments.

When you buy an aluminum drum from Goldesi, you are investing in longevity. We specialize in shipping these robust percussion instruments globally. Although aluminum is strong, we still package every drum with multi-layered protection to ensure the rim and finish arrive in pristine condition, whether you are in the USA, Europe, or Asia. To keep your drum playing perfectly, we recommend picking up a spare tuning key and a carrying case from our accessories section.
