Aburukua Drum
Aburukua Drum for Hire
The Aburukua (or Aburukuwa) is a Tribal drum from the 'Kete' Tribe. It can be used as a set of five drums painted with red and black squares, which are the colours traditionally used at funerals. These drums can be played with both hand and stick. The Aburukuwa is the smallest of the three drums used during rituals and ceremonies. The Aburukuwa and its sister drums, the Kwadum and the Apentemma, were typically covered by red and black felt to represent death and blood. Although the drums have become associated with funerals and ancestor worship, they were also used during wartime.

Bendir
Bendir for Hire
The bendir (also called erbeni or arbani) is a frame drum used as a traditional instrument throughout North Africa. Unlike the tambourine, it has no jingles but most often has a snare (usually made of gut) stretched across its head, which when the drum is struck with the fingers or palm gives the tone a buzzing quality. The bendir is a frame drum with a wooden frame and a membrane. It creates different tones according to the spreading of the shock waves moving across the skins itself. A frame drum is the oldest and most common kind of drum.
Bougarabou
Bougarabou for Hire
Bougarabous are a West African drum. The Bougarabou is similar to a conga drum but without the extra size and weight. The Bougarabou produces a rich mid tone complementing the Djembes in the circle or ensemble. Bougarabous are often crafted from plantation grown mahogany and kiln dried to prevent cracking.

The term daf is used in Iran (Persia) / Kurdistan for a large drum that has a series of four interlinked rings in the frame. Daf is mostly used in the Middle East, Kurdistan, Iran, Armenia, Pakistan, Turkey, Tajikistan and Azerbaijan. Some dafs are equipped with rings or small cymbals, making them a form of tambourine.
Darbuka
Darbuka for Hire
An Arabic vase shaped drum generally made of metal although sometimes clay or wood and played with the hands. Modern darbukas use the conventional tension rods attached to the shell of the drum to give the drum its tension and therefore sound, although the original drums used a lattice work of cord wound round the top half of the shell. Held under one arm, the professional can draw out an incredible range of sounds and scintillating rhythms.
