Arabic Percussion Dufouf

The Resonant Soul of Arabic Percussion

The Arabic Percussion Dufouf is part of the Arabic Percussion Collection, produced by Bassam Ayoub. This library features four distinct Dafs and a Katem, offering a rich palette of deep, resonant tones and dynamic rhythmic possibilities.

• Daf: A traditional frame drum widely used in Arabic music, the Daf delivers warm bass notes and sharp slaps. The library includes four unique variations – two crafted with natural skins for a traditional tone and two with synthetic materials for modern versatility.

• Katem: Known for its deep, earthy resonance and sharp percussive taps, the Katem adds texture and complexity to rhythmic patterns, making it an excellent complement to the Dafs.

Unmatched Realism

The instruments have been recorded with great care to capture the full range of typical articulations in Arabic music. Additional elements such as hand claps and random noises add even more authenticity. With a variety of dynamic layers, round-robin samples, and variations, you will experience a lively and realistic sound experience.

A dedicated keyboard section also provides pre-made MIDI grooves for instant access to rhythmic patterns and fills – all composed and performed by Bassam Ayoub. These grooves reflect typical rhythms of oriental music, making it an indispensable tool for your productions.
