Usually when I declare a 5-minute lesson I go on and on and on over 30 minutes :)
Your video is extremely cool and inspiring, enjoyed watching and I hope many will be inspired to fire up their Darbuka playing with this introduction and your wonderful channel!

Ah exactly what I was looking for thank you!

Please explain more about the left hand. It seems like there is some interaction between the palm and the rim of the drum that is helping create some whip on your fingers

Well, I play darbuka... it will be 17 years now. I can guarantee one thing - you won't be able to learn it in five minutes. To just start sounding reasonable and being able to meaningfully accompany melodic and rhythmic instruments, you need months. To develop all the rich ornaments and embellishments good player boast - years and years. Nice instrument, though! 👌
