Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Doumbek!
This is a cool DVD--the instructor starts with very simple rhythms and gets more advanced. Great for dancers and drummers! It was a little confusing at times for me when he was playing the drum, speaking the rhythms and they were written out on the screen as well. It seemed like a bit chaotic, especially when he would throw in variations. But some people learn better that way--so overall, I would recommend this!

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Wonderful beginners' DVD!
I love this DVD. The only problem is that I am having to pry it out of my son's hands in order to use it! This DVD is fun and easy to follow. Just practice with it! WE love it!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Excellent Techniques
Amir is probably the best Darbuka drummer I have seen yet and he is humble too. Keep it up Amir. You are amazing and amazon delivered on-time and great service most of the times.




Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - great video, i recommend it
I'm a music teacher in San Francisco, I relaly enjoyed this video, it's definately old school teaching method, but he is very sweet and gives lots of great rhythms and excercises and plays them long enough for you to get it.
