Dumbek rhythms are a collection of rhythms that are usually played with hand drums such as the dumbek. These rhythms are various combinations of these three basic sounds:
- doum (D), produced with the dominant hand striking the sweet spot of the skin.
- tek (T), produced with the dominant hand striking the rim.
- ka (K), produced with the recessive hand striking the rim.
