Darbuka Lesson 5 - malfuf & split hand technique [B] 

I have a math test tomorrow and somehow I ended up at part 5 of darbuka lesson

I love this guy! Besides being just adorable, his lessons are easy to follow! Great videos, man!

Dude, that's Saudi, not Malfuf. Second, you're not playing Turkish split finger because you're leading with your ring finger which is traditional Arabic.

I read that this rhythm is called Khaligi. Malfuf is D T T. However thank you for lesson

This is very helpful, thanks !

You lost me at 2:03 ngl

this rythm was khaligi wasnt it?but useful at all

omg you're crazy, i'm just a beginner! haha i really appreciate your lessons. i started with your first lesson and i'm going to check them all out. it's not difficult to see you play the darbuka but my sound isn't well as yours, but i think i have to practice a lot. i'll drop some video's if i can play it good hihi. THANK YOU!!

magic video, no wasting time on pointless chat, total clear total magic...now the practice, practice practice..magic

You make it look very easy!! Thank you for the lessons, hopefully i will be able to play like you one day!

Thank you so much for this lesson! Hugs from Brazil!

This rhythm is usually called Khaligi. A Mafouf is played DkkTkkTk. So, same pattern but only one Doum. Also a Mafouf is played much, much faster. It's a 2/4 rhythm. The Khaligi is played more slowly.

best darbuka lessons on RU-vid ..thanks!!

Thank you soooo much your such great help.. my fingers r still trying to adjust but i will keep playing and watching ur vids and hopefully i can be as good as you in the vids one day hhaha

hi my left point finger cannot hit on darbuka !!!!! I cannot make shounld by it ???? what should I do ???

How do you do the split hand technique so fast? I can do it but wouldn't add much into the rhythm

СПАСИБО! Хороший учитель!!!!

Who hasnt any idea about the techque, they call this Turkish or Split Hand Technique.. But this is wrong informatoion that you are giving to Darbuka Lovers!. True information, In 1988 Ustad Misirli Ahmet created his own unique style, technique and new method for darbuka & deholla and this called - Misirli Ahmet Technique..We best you all the best in your musical journey!.

I can't get any sound out of my left index finger. :( HELP

Can somebody write down the content of the wavy lines? It's a bit to fast for me.

thanks a lot, I love your videos, very usefull

I respect you. I love you so much. The reason is, I do not talk as much as other people. With less talk and more work, you help us. I respect you a lot.i am sri lankan 🇱🇰 .

このリズム　練習初めて　はや２か月　いまだに　完全に　叩けません 　何か　コツとゆうか　アドバイスを　教えて下さい　心が　折れそうです・・・・

Türkçe altyazılı olabilirse iyi olur 🙂

excellent instructions! thank you!

Hi, what’s the diameter of this derbouka?

Very nice, Karol. Enjoy the sense of perfect order in every thing. Dziękuję bardzo

very Hood... thank you...

Part of the turkish technique that makes it so different is that you lead with the first finger on your left hand. Even if you lead with your ring finger it still won't necessarily be egyptian, it just sure as heck won't be turkish. It's almost like you are playing Turkish style with Egyptian fingering. But still bravo for posting such well made videos!

Nice playing but this is *not* Turkish split hand! Interesting variation, but in Turkish split hand, the index finger always precedes the ring finger, not the other way around as you do it. For ex., a triplet would be played tek-index-ring. Also, the rhythm you are playing is not malfuf!

Great lecture, very helpful! Isnt DkkDkkTk Khaligi instead of Malfuf?

Still can't figure out how to make index finger and ring finger strike at the same spot. In addition to turning the wrist, it seems I also have to shake my hand to help with the accuracy?

estou simplesmente amando esse instrumento

nice but this requires some muscle development in your left hand! warning to those trying it out for the first time... your hand WILL tire! but don't worry the more you practice, the stronger your muscles will get and the easier this will become

@rexsoli Thanx a lot for the great tutorials @tablaci Ibelieve the one without understanding is not just Rexsoli(sorry rexsoli dont know about finger techniques but don't think this is malfur)Tablaci must say you can play... but i haven't seen any explanation on your channel. When you know the darbuka you know it is spread on a wide region with a lot of names and a lot of playing styles and techniques You're like a kelly style bodhran player who says a top style player can't play.

yes its saudi not malfuf ... malfof or "Laff" is like this : /watch?v=BoZqhCi0FKY

Thanks for the awesome lessons! Could you tell me what's the right counting for this rhythmic pattern? Want to play it with a metronome.

are you sure that is saudi and not malfuf? because i was searching for information about it and...im pretty confuse now.. :p :/

I love your vids, very helpful, but. Oh, will I ever master that speed, lol!?!

@Lehmann108 So leading with pointer finger is a valid practice? Because I'm just finding it more natural that way.

Guys, I am having trouble in split finger and finger roll with left hand due to my small hands and fingers probably :) Any tips???

GOOD JOB !! peace from israel ! ~

i cant hit so loud with my left hand if i dont raise my elbow :/ fffff

wow this is great!!

Thank you, Karol. Your videos are very helpful :)

Thank you. A very interesting and well done video. 👏🏼

How important is it to hit each finger in the same spot, does it have to be dead on or like within a small area?

La posta!! Thank you !!

Dude..YOU ROCK!! Cant thank you enough.

Wow. Very challenging lesson. But great.

Do you use the split hand technique for rolls on the cajon?

can't get my wrists to move, and so the split hand technique stays very slow /:

I have been looking for a clear explanation of this technique. That helped a lot. Thank you !

Its kind of TIRKIT in TABLA

Great but not as easy as it looks.

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Thank you... You have a gift for teaching.
