Description
The MEINL Daf is a classical Persian pre-tuned frame drum with a rich tradition. It has ring snares nearly all the way around the inside of the drum, and is played with a lot of movement. MEINL Percussion has a new style of Daf to suit the modern player! We placed the rings in three sections, at the top of the Daf, and on the left and right sides. This tempers the effect of the ring snares while saving some weight, and it enables the player to develop new techniques. The MEINL Daf comes with our great sounding and super-stable True Feel synthetic head.
