Dumbek Rhythms
Dumbek rhythms are a collection of rhythms that are usually played with hand drums such as the dumbek. These rhythms are various combinations of these three basic sounds: *Doom (D), produced with the dominant hand striking the sweet spot of the skin. *Tak (T), produced with the recessive hand striking the rim. *Ka (K), produced with the dominant hand striking the rim. Notation In a simple notation, these three sounds are represented by three letters: D, T, and K. When capitalized, the beat is emphasized, and when lower-case, it is played less emphatically. These basic sounds can be combined with other sounds: *Sak or slap (S) (sometimes called 'pa'), produced with the dominant hand. Similar to the doom except the fingers are cupped to capture the air, making a loud terminating sound. The hand remains on the drum head to prevent sustain. *Trill (l), produced by lightly tapping three fingers of one hand in rapid succession on the rim *Roll or (rash, r), produced by a rapid alternat ...
