Wonderful capture - thanks for the link - - very amazing what he did!
I love the sound of these things...but then I have a particular weakness for Arabic music, North African music, and Armenian music, which shares a few odd similarities. As for the shot, I love it. The colors are so warm and rich and sensual...it's a feast for the eyes and I can virtually feel and smell the wood and stretched drum-skin. Nice. Quite exquisitely nice!
That is a beautiful drum and I can see why you were attracted to it. Thanks for the link on how it sounds.
Very beautiful photo ,...and sounds Tara.Good day.
The moment I saw the tiniest piece of this foto, I knew it was yours. Now I'm going to go listen.
Well, now, I'm just a little smarter than I was 15 seconds ago, so that's a good way to end the day! :-D Now, I'm going to bed. My brain is tired... LOL! Wonderful photo - lice lines and warm wood colors! Excellent, Tara!
Nice. You might remember that I posted some shots of African drummers than came to the school I work and played drums like this.
Wonderful picture!!!
Excellent shot! I love the light you used!
excellent...
Thank you! I knew the sound, but not the instrument.
Super image and a great sound.
I never knew the name, but we went to a concert before Christmas in which these featured largely. WONDERFUL pic.
Snazzy. This positively glows and radiates rhythm. The video simply adds another whole dimension. Every picture should be both seen and heard! Er,...maybe not true for still life...lol.
Those have to be my favorite type of drum, but then I do have 3 of them myself. You have a very nice picture of this one, I really like how you captured the warm rich grain in the wood. Looks like the body is hand-made, too, so that's got to be a really nice drum!
Perfect lighting and your signature "softness" (I don't know how you do that!) gives it perfect atmosphere. Beautiful work!
Beautiful drum, well captured and an amazing sound it is.
Warm colors and nice composition.
Splendid capture! :)
Maybe later.
Lovely deep colouring and textures in this excellent capture.

En ek het gedog dat dit was 'n dom-bek... hoe dom van my!! A wonderful sound - thanks for the link. I love the crop and lighting! Clive
Excellent...
I love doumbeks! I listen to arabic music quite a bit and the drumming is always fascinating, love the drum solos. They have such rich music in that part of the world. Fantastic photo! Delaney
