darbuka-nut is a free percussion sound module developed by Volko Audio, featuring the sounds of a nut darbuka (aka goblet drum). The instrument is released as a free VST/AU/RTAS plugin for Windows and Mac OS X based plugin hosts.

The instrument is based on a 300 MB collection of goblet drum samples, with several round robins for each sampled articulation. There are eleven articulations in total, ranging from C1 to F2 notes on the keyboard (white keys only).

The samples can be triggered manually if you want to create your own rhythms, however the users who don’t like programming percussion sequences will definitely regard the fact that the plugin also includes a bank of 27 percussion grooves. These grooves can be played inside the instrument itself (by clicking the START button), but you can also use simple drag & drop controls to copy the desired MIDI file to your host application’s sequencer. The MIDI files can also be exported to desktop (using drag & drop), which is pretty neat.

It goes: Register, Confirm Mail & License Mail. The Plugin works without Lic, but starts with a "pop up" to load it ... Instant results for shure. Maybe another drum would`ve been nice, lol. Sounds great with a bit filter/eq.
