What is the difference between a doumbek and a djembe drum?
I am an aspiring drummer interested in middle eastern music (i.e. the type that would be used in middle eastern belly dance) and am looking to purchase my first drum. Some have told me I should buy a doumbek and some have told me to buy a djembe. Any help would be great appreciated! Thanks
Answer:
When at bellydance haflas and festivals, I see many more doumbeks than djembes. Djembes are much taller (hence slightly less totable) and louder than doumbeks. I dug up a couple articles about both.
