Talk:Goblet drum
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I renamed the article to 'Goblet drum' because of all the choices, its the most neutral. No one culture has the 'real' or 'authentic' goblet drum.
The link to Jas's Middle Eastern Rhythms FAQ belongs on the dumbek rhythms page. And it's already on there. So this new link should be removed. Gecko 18:21, 28 Sep 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Raquy Danzinger is not a virtuoso
Why is Raquy Danzinger put up in the list of world wide players? Okay, she plays darbuka, but not on the same level as the other players? She is not a virtuoso.

Hello folks... the article states "Nowhere outside the United States is the drum called Dumbek or Doumbeck" and then continues with "Doumbek/Doumbeg (Armenian)" I'm in a quandary as how to edit this mistake out. Suggestions?
[edit] merge
Should this article be merged with tonbak ? Hakluyt bean 03:35, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Should not be merged with tonbak
The various goblet drums are quite distinct. Go to YouTube and watch Iranian tonbak players vs. Egyptian or Turkish doumbek players. It's totally different. Wikipedia doesn't yet have enough info on these subjects, but combining them will make it worse. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 67.164.10.43 (talk) 06:25, 22 March 2007 (UTC).
I agree that this should not be combined with tonback. Although their are some slight differences in the design of the different culture's drums. It seems that it is more a difference in the style of the players rather than a difference in the design of the drums themselves, that separates the different cultures. Thus they should remain grouped under "Goblet Drums" because that is what they all are; maybe a series an article about specific styles could be made as well, to distinguish these differences.
