	True History of the Dumbek (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		The invention of the dumbek (or doumbek, or doumbec, or doumbeck, etc.) was a result of Al's perpetual impecuniety.
		In time the origin of the dumbek as a tool of communication and calculation was forgotten, and it took it place among such devices as the hurdy-gurdy, the bagpipes, the bowed psaltery and the long version of "Crimson and Clover" as an instrument of musical torment.
		To study the effects of dumbek playing upon the executant, a volunteer was handed a dumbek and asked to play.

	MHSchool: McGraw-Hill Music 2005
		Traditional dumbeks are not tuned, and the heads are either tied or glued to the body.
		Tradition says that the dumbek is so called because the word is a rough combination of the drum’s two basic sounds: “dum” and “tek.” The “dum” is made by striking the drum’s most resonant area with the dominant hand, producing a round ringing tone.
		One of the more common rhythms played on the dumbek is a complex pattern in 12/8, with emphases on the first, fifth, sixth, ninth and tenth beats and a grab on the twelfth.

		The Dumbek is a drum of middle eastern origin.
		In this recording, I mixed the dumbek with a conga as a second support drum, a live shaker with alternate simple pattern played on 1 then 1 and 4, some cymbal hits, and a silly lead line for fun.
		The mix of the dumbek edginess, the round tone of the conga, and a near familiar snare sound of this cajon was more than I expected.
