Meinl Percussion Darbuka (HE-HEAD-3000)

A friend of mine at work went to Egypt (she's from there originally), and before she left she said, "oh I know you play drums, I'll bring you back a doumbek."I said, "ok cool!" Thinking she never would. but she totally did!That was about 7 years ago, so recently I noticed the head needed replacing. I bought this head and it sounds better now than it ever did.Meinl makes great percussion gear - this head has a nice low frequency resonance when tuned right, and the classic high pitch rim sound as well.Great drumhead.

Didnt fit at all I returned it.to small doesnt fit any darbukas I dont know why they sell this product waste of time.

I am so glad Amazon is now carrying these! I had heard they are hard to find. Looks like we have no need to worry about searching around for head replacement for Meinl 3000's. It shipped quickly but fulfillment had a small delay.It looks identical to the two that came with my drum--same white background and Meinl logo. It appears free of defects. I bought this as a backup and when I actually put the head on I will do an update here to describe the replacement process and tonality.

This is the perfect replacement head for the Meinl doumbek. Well made as the original. Highly recommended. Just make sure your measurements are correct.

Doumbek head was delivered as promised. A fine example of the meinl 8.5 inch head without visible defects. buy yours today...if you have the appropriate drum of course

sounded great; broke quickly

Great item

Excelente. As expected.
