The Sound of  Majid  Drums “ Daf ” is especially unique because this high-quality percussion instrument is furnished with  metal rings on the inside.

Its  handmade frame  is covered with a natural skin, which gives the  Daf  its warm and traditional sound.
The playing-surface of this drum consists of  goat skin  by default and contrary to most standard  Dafs  —  its  tuneable .
Therefore, problems concerning the tension of the playing surface due to heat etc., are a thing of the past.
The tuning works with an air system, which means that the  durability of your drum is improved  since you don’t have to heat up the skin to adjust the sound.
