MEINL Daood Debu Signature Artisan Edition Doumbek - 9 in.

The MEINL Daood Debu signature Artisan Edition doumbek blends traditional Egyptian craftsmanship with a refined, contemporary playing experience shaped by Debu’s musical perspective. Handcrafted with a solid aluminum shell, this 9" doumbek emphasizes the clear, articulate tones that define the instrument’s voice, paired with a synthetic head for consistent response across a variety of playing environments. A respected percussionist and educator known for his deep knowledge of Middle Eastern rhythms and modern performance contexts, Debu brings a thoughtful, musical approach that’s reflected in both the sound and feel of this instrument. Intricate mother-of-pearl mosaic inlays highlight classic Egyptian design elements, adding visual depth that complements its precise tonal character. Standing 18-3/4" tall, the drum offers a familiar, balanced feel for players who value tradition while demanding reliability for rehearsals and stage use, and it includes a tuning key to help maintain consistent head tension.
