Description
Celebrate the pulse of Middle Eastern folk rhythms with this Kurdish frame drum (Daf), combining traditional acoustic resonance with visual artistry. Built with a durable synthetic drumhead, this model is impervious to humidity and temperature fluctuations, delivering consistent tension, a deep resonant bass (dum), and sharp, articulate edge snaps (tek) across any playing environment.
The drumhead features a vintage portrait of a woman in traditional Kurdish folk dress carrying a water vessel (sincane / urn), finished in warm sepia and golden-amber tones with a translucent edge gradient. Held together by a sturdy circular wooden frame, the interior is equipped with traditional interlocking metal chain rings that create the signature swirling, shimmering rattle when rolling and tilting the drum.
