EBAY!! They have everything lol.
There are two types of drums used for egyptian belly dancing music. The first one is called the ‘tabla’ (or djembe if you’re talking about the african ones) there are many different types about; you’ll have to search to the egyptian tabla if you want one.
The second type of drum is called a ‘duff’. You’ll find plenty of places to buy one, just have a quick look online.
The Drum used for Egyptian belly dance is called tablah in Arabic or darbuka or dumbelek in Turkish.
You can see a picture of it on
There’s an awesome music instrument seller called Lark in the Morning… you might check them out. They have a little bit of everything!
