DARABUKAS |

GAWAHART EL FAN |
| These drums
have been handpicked direct from the GEF factory in Cairo and are the
new 2010 model. These drums have the best Mother Of Pearl inlay work
available, all flawless with a thick protective layer of lacquer. They
have a smooth painted interior ( various colours ) and they are heavy,
generally weighing 4.5 - 4.75 kgs. They are also taller than most
standard Darabukas at 17.5 Inches or 43.5cm approximately. Some of the
drums have had the original heads replaced with other models, resulting
in different sound qualities, as a very rough guide - the original
Mylars sound high pitched and loud and abrupt, the others give more
ringiness, the Dum ( Bass ) is equally loud and powerful with any head.
These are the best GEF Darabukas you can find.
N.B. UK ORDERS ONLY.
For orders outside the UK please email for
information on how you can order these GEF 2010 drums. I hope to be able
to provide many more of these in the future - check back regularly. |

All my drums are hand picked and tuned by myself
and I consider all of my drums to be perfectly fine for students
of all levels, if you are looking for top quality drums but with
a different style of decoration, then I would like to refer you
to the HOSSAM RAMZY SIGNATURE range of drums These drums are
made under the supervision of Hossam and are of the finest
quality you will find. I do not sell these drums but I am very
happy to direct you to Hossam's site where you can find more
information about the instruments and how to purchase. Currently
there are only tablas listed, but soon there will be Hossam's
signature Riqs, Duffs, Mazhars and Sagat.

DRUM HEADS N.B. Darabukas do vary in their
exact dimensions around the rim ( Shamber ) for fitting the head and the heads will
vary also in size. I try to describe the following as accurately as
possible. To ensure you order the right one for your drum measure the
widest distance from the OUTSIDE of the metal rim on your drum which the
head goes over, and compare to these measurements which are from the
widest point of the rim INSIDE the drum head. Very occasionally the
depth of the head may be too deep or shallow to fit easily on your drum
- you will need to do the following - TOO SHALLOW - you need to
screw down the head as far as it will go - take a teatowel and fold it
once and place on the drum head - take a hot iron and iron the head
through the teatowel for around 30 secs - this will loosen the plastic
head momentarily and then you can screw down the bolts a little further
- you may will need to repeat this process a few times before the head
will become flush with the rim. TOO DEEP ( very unlikely ) - put some
cord around the metal rim of the skin so there is now something for the
rim to screw down on, using an old head rim without the plastic is
ideal. Both the above situations are unlikely to occur but if so try
these solutions. I will refund any UNUSED head, buyer meets the postage
cost to return. Please contact me if you need further help. |
