Middle East Essentials - Percussion

The Middle East Essentials series by Gio Israel set the goal of capturing the most diverse, high-quality, and unique musical material. Making ancient music, sounds and instruments accessible through state of the art sound sampling.

Drums have been beaten through the Middle East since the dawn of music. In ritual, ceremony, recreational use, and in battle. For this pack we gathered fundamental Middle Eastern percussion instruments - darbuka, riq (the Middle Eastern tambourine), frame drums (bendir, persian daf), dahola (clay darbuka), davul, tombak (aka zarb). We offer a range of classical Arabic rhythms in a variety of BPMs as well as some contemporary mixed beats.
