The drum can be tuned by adjusting the leather tabs over the cords. Similar large double-headed frame drums (also known as Daouli, Davul, Dawul, and Tabl Baladi) have been used in ceremonies, festivals, and in wars throughout the Middle East for centuries; such tupans accompanied Alexander the Great\'s armies as the marched from Macedonia east to the Indus River. Today they are common in Bulgarian folk music, where they are known as Tupan. In Turkey they are called davul or tabl baladi. This instrument is most often an accompanying instrument used to mark the rhythm, but it can be played solo as well. The two heads of the drum are played with two beaters. The dominate hand plays the accented beats with the larger thicker beater, called a tokmak. The end of the tokmak may be rapped in cloth to create a muted sound. The other hand holds the thinner switch and plays rapid rhythms. An accomplished drummer will get various sounds from different parts of the two heads, as well as rapping the wooden body. This Tupan has a 20 inch diameter and an 12 inch deep frame body, and comes with a beater and a switch.15\"T x 21\"DItem Dimension(inch): 21x21x15Item Weight(lbs):8Country: Pakistan 1655728 844731015175 52.1300lbs 23.00 22.00 17.00

Best Price in Bulk!

Because we are a major distributor for some products, we price very aggressively by sacrificing profit margin whenever we sell in bulk. The philosophy to offer quality products with little mark up has created unmatched customer loyalty for some successful membership based stores. Unlike those wholesale to public membership clubs, we do not charge any membership fee. Some merchants offer FREE shipping, but when you buy quantity 10, you pay 10 times total. Essentially, you are paying 10 times on shipping. We don't think that is fair to you. Why? Most of the time, shipping a 10 lb parcel does not cost 10 times of a 1 lb parcel.

Here is an example:

Don't be shy. If you discover any competitor outselling us in a particular product, whenever you purchase in large quantity, please bring it to our attention. Most of the time, we will match or beat their price, and give you a credit. If we lose to a competitor, it is our shame. We then know we need to work harder in sourcing to create values for you.

* Price comparison must be based on comparable brands or models and in bulk quantity purchase.
