Dayereh - Made By Naghmeh

General Description:

The dayereh is a traditional frame drum widely used in Middle Eastern, Central Asian, and North African music. It is similar in shape to other frame drums like the tambourine but typically lacks jingles or cymbals. The dayereh consists of a circular wooden frame with a stretched skin membrane, often made from goat or cowhide. It is played by striking the drumhead with the fingers, palms, or even the edges of the hand, creating a range of sounds from sharp, percussive slaps to softer, resonant tones. The instrument's pitch and tone can vary depending on the tension of the skin and the technique used, and it often features a slight buzzing sound, especially if the drum is played with the fingertips near the edges of the membrane.

In traditional music, the dayereh is an essential rhythm instrument used to accompany folk music, dance, and ceremonial occasions. It plays a key role in ensembles, providing both rhythmic foundation and melodic texture. The dayereh is especially prominent in Persian, Turkish, Kurdish, and Arabic music, and is often seen in both solo performances and in group settings alongside other instruments like the oud or violin. The instrument's adaptability also allows it to be incorporated into modern musical genres, with musicians blending its distinctive sound with contemporary styles. Its presence in various cultural traditions underscores its importance as a dynamic and versatile percussion instrument, beloved for its ability to add depth, energy, and movement to music.
