Product Details

Urban Cast: The Standard for Rhythm The Goldesi Urban Cast (Size No. 5) is the definitive entry-level instrument for adults and enthusiasts. Moving beyond the junior sizes, this is a Full-Size Turkish Darbuka, offering the standard dimensions and acoustic volume found in professional circles. Built with a robust aluminum shell, it is designed for versatility—perfect for student practice, campfire gatherings, or accompanying a guitar. The 23 cm (9 in) head delivers the full tonal spectrum: deep, resonant "Doum" bass notes that can be felt in the chest, and sharp, metallic "Tek" highs characteristic of the Turkish style. Unlike fragile ceramic drums, the Urban Cast is rugged and weather-resistant, making it the ultimate "go-anywhere" drum for the hobbyist percussionist.

Performance and Design:

Standard Full Size: With a height of 44 cm and a 23 cm head, this drum offers the standard ergonomics used by adults, ensuring that muscle memory developed here translates to any professional darbuka.
High-Projection Acoustics: The larger air volume inside the shell produces a loud, commanding sound suitable for outdoor jams and acoustic sessions.
Turkish Rim Structure: Features the classic flat rim, ideal for executing crisp finger snaps and rapid rolls with ease.
Durable & Low Maintenance: The oven-painted aluminum body and synthetic head are unaffected by temperature or humidity changes, ensuring consistent sound every time you play.
