High Bass Darbukas

The High Bass Darbuka, frequently referred to as the Doholla, is the heavyweight anchor of Middle Eastern rhythm. Distinguished by its expansive head diameter (typically exceeding 25cm) and elongated body, this instrument is engineered to generate profound, resonant bass notes that you can feel in your chest. While standard 8 Inch Darbukas provide the sharp, cracking highs for solo improvisation, the Bass Darbuka fills the sonic spectrum with a warm, enveloping low-end. It is the essential counterpart in any professional ensemble, providing the pulse that holds the music together.

Our collection features Bass Darbukas in various premium materials to suit different acoustic needs. We offer heavy cast aluminum models that project volume clearly in large venues, and authentic Clay Darbukas in bass sizes for those seeking the ultimate organic, earthy thrum. Because of their larger surface area, these drums allow for unique playing techniques, including complex finger rolls and deep sustain effects not possible on smaller Mini Darbukas. They are serious instruments for serious percussionists who understand the importance of sonic depth.

Shipping a High Bass Darbuka is a logistical challenge that Goldesi handles with expertise. These drums are significantly heavier and bulkier than standard models. We utilize custom-reinforced packaging and heavy-duty cushioning to ensure that your instrument—whether it is a large Egyptian Doumbek style or a Turkish Bass—arrives in the USA, Europe, or Asia without a scratch. To protect your investment, we strongly advise purchasing a specialized hard case from our accessories collection, or looking for a comprehensive deal in our Bundle & Save section.
