Egy gawhara is the brand. Very nice sound.
What makes Egy Gawhara's darbukas stand out is the fact that they are very well known to be engulfed and elegantly hand crafted with mother of pearl. We believe an instrument should sound as beautiful as it looks and Egy Gawhara have perfected that with their darbukas. The new generations of the Sombaty darbukas are slightly wider than the regular sized darbukas and that is to give you the maximum ranges of the 'doom', 'tac' and 'slap' sounding strokes, which is why these instruments are extremely popular and favored by Middle Eastern players who require the range that spans the 23cm diameter skin and why they weigh slightly heavier than the standard darbukas at over 4.5kg, that also helps to stabilize the drum and helps in the free flow of the sound, due to the high quality aluminum finish on the inside that allows the flow of sound to be as smooth and pure as possible with double glass layers on the outside protecting the darbuka from damaging the mother of pearl art and general wear and tear.
