Doumbek
Case - NC08
When tuning a tunable doumbek, DO NOT
OVERTIGHTEN the drum as this could
damage it.
If the head is a natural skin, it will react to
humidity; high humidity can loosen the
natural skin head. Low humidity will tighten
the natural skin head.
For natural heads, avoid extreme heat, cold,
and humidity. Do not store your doumbek in
a car.
Avoid placing any objects on top of your
doumbek.
Clean the doumbek using a soft damp cloth
or spray it with a water bottle and then lightly
wipe it down.
If you have a small hole in a natural skin head
and you are afraid it will tear, just close it up
with super or white glue; apply a little glue to
both the inside and outside of the drum head
around the hole to close it up. There are also
some commercial patch kits available. In a
pinch, strong tape will hold temporarily.
Doumbeks can also be re-headed and natural
skin heads can usually be put on drums with
yellow wood glue, a hose clamp, and masking
tape. Mid-East will re-head ceramic and
wooden drums with natural skins and also
sell natural skins.
Never use beaters or mallets on your
doumbek, doing so will likely result in
damage to the head.
D
ue to the nature of the materials
used to construct a doumbek, it
is recommended that you keep your
doumbek in a case when transporting
or when you have it in storage. Mid-East
sells a variety of doumbek cases which
are also displayed on our website. If you

doumbek, check out Mid-East’s doumbek
instructional materials on our website.
