Here is a small drum loop:

Does anyone recognize the instrument used as a percussion, behind the kick drum?

 

Not sure, could be a small Djembe or a Darbouka.

 

I'm fairly certain it is a Darbouka. I have one that I play regularly so am familiar with the thwack of the instrument.

 

mmhhh ..... a dx7 ? or maybe a m1 ?

 

thanks guys, you're right it'a most likely a darbouka; I have seen them before but I never knew the name of the instrument!

 

It's a processed can/pot from the kitchen.

After experimenting, it sounds more like a Khol as it has more of a wooden sound than a darbouka.

 

Nah, this is a Khol...

and this is a darbouka.

Not even close, and I didn't even choose a metal one that I believe was used in the OP's now deleted sound example to keep it a more fair showing.

 

Why not be smart and use both and maybe even with congas? If the pitches match, of course.

 

I am not sure, it sounds like a Darbuka... but i think it's a pitched and equalised Djembe

I hear a wooden tone in it, does anyone else have the same feel?

 

Yes there is a wooden tone
