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 

want to learn more about how to play the 

doumbek, check out Mid-East’s doumbek 

instructional materials on our website.
