I will record authentic darbuka, riq, and middle eastern percussion tracks


About this gig
Elevate your production with authentic, high-energy Middle Eastern percussion recorded live in a professional studio setting.
Whether you are producing cinematic film scores, modern pop, EDM, world fusion, or traditional folk tracks, adding real acoustic percussion brings a human feel, drive, and rich tonal texture that sample libraries simply cannot recreate.
I specialize in traditional Arabic, Turkish, and Middle Eastern rhythm structuresfrom intricate 10/8 Samai patterns and driving Saidi beats to crisp Maqsum grooves and expressive solos.
Every track is recorded using premium microphones, high-end preamps, and tailored room treatment to ensure a polished, ready-to-mix sound that sits effortlessly in your project.

- Authentic Instruments: Live acoustic tracking using professional-grade Darbuka (Doumbek), Riq (Egyptian Tambourine), Frame Drums (Bendir/Daf), Sagat (Finger Cymbals), and subtle shaker accents.
- Pristine Audio Quality: Unprocessed 24-bit/48kHz WAV stems, recorded dry so you have complete freedom over EQ, reverb, and compression during mixing.
- Tight Timing & Musicality: Perfectly synced to your project's tempo (BPM)
