The Doumbek is also known as darbuka. It is a Middle Eastern drum that is very common in Ethiopia and in Egypt. The bottom is hollow, and the reason for that is not only let the sound come out of the instrument, but, as you strike the instrument, if you insert your hand into the bottom, you change the tone of the drum. The name 'dumbek' essentially comes from the two sounds that you can get from the instrument. 'Dum', which is when you get a low sound when you hit in the center of the instrument and 'bek', when you get a crisp sound when you hit the edge of the rim.
