Introducing the White Dragon New Generation Darbuka — an evolution of the classic solo darbuka, handcrafted in Egypt by Arabian Instruments. Designed for musicians who want lightweight playability with professional-grade sound, this darbuka bridges heritage and innovation beautifully.
Slightly larger than the standard solo darbuka, the White Dragon produces a crisper, more defined tone, making it ideal for live performances, studio recordings, and energetic haflas. It’s lighter than the Sombaty Plus model, yet still delivers the clarity, balance, and power of a top-tier darbuka.
Adorned with Blue Mother of Pearl imported from the coasts of New Zealand and Australia, this darbuka shimmers with elegance. Each piece is hand-inlaid using a traditional technique passed down from father to son, preserving generations of Egyptian craftsmanship. The shell is enhanced with delicate hand-painted accents, creating a one-of-a-kind design that reflects both artistry and heritage.
The White Dragon Darbuka offers an exceptional playing experience — responsive, balanced, and acoustically rich. Its design ensures a clean, punchy “Slap” and resonant “Doom,” giving you full expressive control across every rhythm.
When you order from ArabianInstruments.com, you receive an authentic handmade darbuka built with care in our Egyptian workshop. Each piece features genuine mother-of-pearl and expert craftsmanship, ensuring both musical excellence and lasting beauty.
This is more than just a drum — it’s a work of art born from tradition.
