Authentic Riqq Tone and Build
Schlagwerk’s RTRIQ riqq frame drum is an authentic and top-tier take on the traditional middle-eastern riqq tambourines commonly heard in Arabian and Turkish music. This 2.44-inch x 10-inch instrument features a 6-ply shell finely crafted from beechwood, boasting an organic and musical foundation with a gorgeous grain and finger cutouts for effortless command while performing. Five clamp pairs of jingles provide an unmistakably bright percussive effect for diverse shake and rattle potential. A real goatskin head not only furthers the authentic tone of this riqq, but enables defined finger percussion, rolling, and tension glissando for truly vivid and versatile performances. An included tuning key even lets you set the head tension to your liking! For traditional performances, professional stage playability, detailed recording in the studio, and lively contribution to drum circles and beyond, the RTRIQ riqq frame drum from Sweetwater is your go-to percussive companion.
