The doumbeks are well-suited for fast finger-roll techniques and have a strong projection. The drum shells are constructed from various materials, each offering a wide range of timbres, weights and visual aesthetics. Hand made entirely of aluminum, the Meinl Doumbek drum is outstanding in sound and quality reaching from resonant lows to ringing highs.
