Product Details
Obsidian Forge: Fired in Shadow Part of the Goldesi "Forge" ceramic series, the Obsidian Forge is a testament to the elemental power of earth and fire. While the Aqua and Red models shine with color, this instrument embraces the mystery of the deep. Hand-crafted from high-quality clay and kiln-fired to perfection, it is finished in a sleek Matte Black that exudes quiet authority. This darbuka is designed for the percussionist who values tone above all else. The Ceramic (Pottery) body acts as a natural resonator, smoothing out harsh frequencies to produce a "Warm, Mellow, and Earthen Resonance." Weighing in at a manageable 2.2 kg, the Obsidian Forge offers the soulful, grounded sound of traditional Egyptian pottery in a form that is easy to transport to any session, from the studio to the campfire.
Performance and Design:
-
The Forge Signature: Like its siblings in the series, this drum is born from the kiln, ensuring a hardened, resonant shell that projects sound with warmth and clarity.
-
Organic Acoustic Depth: The clay construction delivers a rich, thumping bass (Doum) and a natural, woody high note (Tek) that metal drums simply cannot replicate.
-
Pro-Standard Dimensions: Features a professional 22 cm (8.6 in) head diameter and a standard 44 cm height, offering the classic ergonomic feel of a master instrument.
-
Sleek Noir Aesthetic: The matte black glaze isn't just for looks; it provides a smooth texture that feels natural under the arm and fits seamlessly into any stage setup.
-
Portable Earth Tone: At 2.2 kg, it strikes the perfect balance—heavy enough to stay stable while playing, yet light enough to carry comfortably.

honestly bought it mostly for looks, black finish is sleek.
We totally get it! Aesthetics matter, and we're so glad the sleek black finish fits your style perfectly. It’s a piece that looks just as good as it sounds. Thanks for the feedback! ✨
I was worried about shipping ceramic but it was packed very well. sounds crisp.
Thank you! Safety is our priority, and we're thrilled it arrived in perfect condition. Enjoy that beautiful, crisp tone!
can i change the skin easily on this one? sound is good though.
Hi Drummer Boy,
yes, the head can be changed easily. This replacement film fits standard darbuka rims and installs without special tools. The sound quality is clear and responsive once properly tensioned.
heavier than metal ones obviously. good bass.
True! That extra weight is the secret to the deep bass. Glad you're feeling the power! 💪
