Daf
with its different transcription and transliteration forms like
Daff, dap, def, deff, defi, diaff, duff, refers to round
single-headed frame drum connected with oriental cultures. The drum had been widely used in Folk and entertainment music. In Turkey, Syria, Iraq, Iran and elsewhere it has historical and contemporary associations with Sufi rituals. In varying forms it is found in West Asia, the Caucasus, the Iranian plateau, Central Asia and south-eastern Europe. The drum is used in a wide variety of settings: folk music, art music, entertainment and dance music and Sufi religious rituals. Kurdish type of frame drum is historically related to the pre-Islamic Iranian dap. Variant examples appear in Armenia and among the Uighurs of Central Asia (dap); in Azerbaijan (ghaval, gaval); in Turkey, Albania, Serbia, Bosnia-Herzegovina and Macedonia (def); in Greece, particularly the north (defi). |

Pejman Hadadi, a "virtuoso" daf and tombak player, constructs New Daf
Drum in suiting the Remo skin on Iranian Kurdish daf.
Remo manufactures over 30 years Frame drums, Tambourines and Frame drum
Heads. The inspiration to create the Daf drum from the Classical Sufi
music traditions in Iran (Persia) with a humidity resistant head due to
master Iranian drummer, Pejman Hadadi.
Hadadi daf drum is constructed with the beautiful Skin-deep graphic
drumhead of Remo that is pre-tuned on a twenty-one inch lightweight drum
shell. Remo’s daf head produces rich Tek tones and full Bass tones while
also featuring hundreds of chrome metal rings attached on the inner wall
of the shell in interlocked sets of four rings. These chrome metal rings
produce a unique percussive sound when shaken and a buzz or snare like
sound when touching the drumhead.
After getting diverse synthetic head dafs more and more popular
Santoori.com decided to show the quality or authentic timbre of the
different Iranian daf types with nature and synthetic heads by recording
5 daf solo performances under the same recording condition, in order to
show these contrasts of the sound qualities.
These daf performances was created in Tehran, Iran in June of 2010 in
the Aftabe Alamtab Studio under cooperation of Santoori.com, Mehrdad
Zahedian, the Iranian great documentary director and Mohammad Jaberi,
Iranian master class daf player.
Santoori.com
at this point would love to say his thanks to ideally cooperation of
Mehrdad Zahedian, Mohammad Jaberi and Amirabbas Setayeshgar in advance.
