This derbouka is primarily aimed at intermediate to advanced players looking for a reliable, powerful and clean foundation, capable of holding its tuning and responding to nuances.

Its natural territory is Egyptian rhythms (Baladi, Maqsoum, Saidi), as well as shaabi and oriental pop grooves, and fusion contexts where a deep doum and clearly defined, crisp tek strokes are sought.
