DARBUKA

The goblet drum (also chalice drum, darbuka, doumbek or tablah) is a hand drum with a goblet shape used mostly in the Middle East, North Africa, and Eastern Europe.
Though it is not known exactly when these drums were first made, they are known to be of ancient origin. Some say they have been around for thousands of years, used in Mesopotamian and Ancient Egyptian cultures. There has also has been some debate that they actually originated in Europe and were brought to the Middle East by nomadic Celtic tribes.
