Introducing the Hathor Sombaty Plus Darbuka, an extraordinary creation by Arab Instruments, handcrafted in Egypt to honor both the artistry and strength of traditional Middle Eastern percussion. Built for professionals, this darbuka embodies the perfect harmony of luxury design, precision tone, and cultural heritage.
Made with a reinforced aluminum body, the Hathor is heavier than the standard Sombaty model, allowing it to deliver deeper resonance and stronger “Doom” strokes. With 8 precision tuning pegs, you’ll experience full control and stability across every tone — ideal for live performances and studio sessions alike.
Every Hathor Darbuka is individually handcrafted and covered with rare Japanese white pearls, carefully hand-applied using traditional Egyptian craftsmanship. The luminous white finish reflects like marble, complemented by blue pearls sourced from the coasts of New Zealand and Australia — giving this darbuka an ethereal, oceanic beauty.
Each instrument takes many hours of meticulous work to perfect, ensuring that no two darbukas are exactly the same. The result is a visually stunning and acoustically powerful instrument worthy of collectors and master players.
The Hathor Sombaty Plus Doumbek is built for grand stages — concerts, haflas, festivals, and studio sessions. Its commanding presence and professional-grade sound make it an essential for musicians seeking clarity, depth, and distinction in every beat.
When you purchase from ArabianInstruments.com, you’re getting a 100% authentic handmade darbuka, crafted by expert artisans in Egypt. Each piece is adorned with genuine mother-of-pearl, making it as unique as it is powerful.
If you’re searching for an instrument that represents both art and excellence, the Hathor Darbuka is a masterpiece that delivers both in every stroke.
