Yusuf Percussion

Yusuf Percussion is a maker of the bendir — the large frame drum of Turkish, North African, and Sufi music. A single skin stretched over a wide wooden hoop, often with gut snares beneath the head that add a soft buzz to each stroke, the bendir is held upright and played with the fingers and palm, moving from deep, round bass tones to crisp rim accents.

This collection brings together the Yusuf Percussion bendirs currently in our catalogue. Each frame drum is checked for skin tension, tone, and finish before it ships from our Brisighella, Italy showroom.
