Your Darbuka instructional videos have the best explanations of any I've found on CZcams so far - thanks! I especially appreciate the mention of different ways others do the strokes and acknowledging there's no one right way. Question: Is the Slap the same as Pa, or are they different strokes? Thanks again!
thanks a lot! very nice technique, and yes, it's kinda hard to hear good slap until it pops out eventually, it took me about 2 weeks before i finally did one... long way ahead! :D
I can do all slap ways , it's all about practicing and daily training, Actually there is no difference between Phone sound or Mic sound , cuz i can proof it to you and play slap on both of them , the only thing you need to know about slap , keep practicing on it at least one hour per day, at the beginning you are going to see that it's not working but you should keep ur training on , then when you hit the slap you need to focus on the sound it must be like when you open a soda battle it does have the (pop) so the slap it must pop , also you need to get some power for it , like when you hit it , hit it with some power . 👌
Many thanks for your videos, Geoff. I'm learning on a clay darbuka, and I'm not quite sure how the slaps should sound. Can you direct me to a good example? Cheers!
The wrist twist was a game changer! Thank you! I've hit the slap wall for sure.
Great explanation

Thanks Anon! Yes, "Pa" is another word for slap. Sometimes you'll also hear it called "Saq."
Agree. Best explanations.

On a clay darbuka, they sound a bit gentler, less crisp. Here's an example: czcams.com/video/Cc0f7OOLDV0/video.html
Perfect! Thanks for your quick reply. Please keep posting darbuka vids!
