Raquy’s online darbuka School
- How it started -
Raquy Danziger is an internationally acclaimed darbuka player and teacher specializing in split hand style, who developed her own unique method of teaching the darbuka. After teaching darbuka to drummers across the globe, Raquy Danziger decided to put all of her teaching material onto an online school platform www.darbukaschool.com so that darbuka players in any country could easily access the material and continue their training. Such a platform that includes videos, written notation, and audio files gives the students a great learning experience that they couldn't get from just a book or a CD.
- What should you expect? -
When you enroll in a course in the Darbuka School you can expect to get valuable content, broken down in a clear and organized way. Your learning journey will be accompanied by videos, audio files, and Raquy's original notation system that indicates what finger to use and exactly where and how to hit it on the drum.
- Why choose it -
The Darbuka School is all about great and current content. Raquy has a very clear way of explaining and her notation system makes it possible for you to play a piece, just from looking at the notes. In these courses, Raquy demystifies the modern split-hand style of playing. It was developed in Turkey and gives the player incredible speed and dexterity. Raquy teaches you how to use these techniques in a practical way when you are playing in everyday situations. Thanks to the weekly broadcasts of new content and the LIVE lessons, the students can keep up with the latest freshest ideas coming straight from the Darbuka Ofis in Istanbul.

"Becoming a participant in Raquy Danziger’s Darbuka School has made a world of difference in my drumming. Each week a new lesson appears, broken down slowly and clearly explained with notation and context – offering a variety of rhythms, meters and styles. Forget what you learned? No problem because you have access to all the previous lessons for review. I have my favorites that I re-watch often for practice. Membership includes access to compositions, tutorials, and incredibly challenging drills by Raquy and other Turkish darbuka masters. I used to travel over an hour each way for a lesson, and now I can feel virtually connected to a network of drummers all over the globe whenever I want! "
"Darbuka School is a one-of-a-kind online platform to learn darbuka at one’s own time and place. Especially during this pandemic, I found the daily practices and the courses very helpful. It is for the serious and passionate learner who wants to get better at drumming fast - as fast and often as one can practice all the generous wisdom straight from the masters. What I love about it is that it has its own notation system to break down enigmatic playing. It enables me to hit a huge variety of sounds at great speed from a darbuka. Arming me with technique, rhythm, sound advice and inspiration, I find it totally on a class of its own."
"I've been Raquy's online school student for more than two years and I've been learning lots of moves and combinations. There are heaps of courses and they are very easy to follow. I've been improving my technique and my knowledge a lot."
