Welcome to Darbuka
The overwhelming success of our first virtual musician - the Virtual Guitarist – proved that there’s a huge
demand for intelligent music tools that put you in the producers’ rather than the musicians’ chair; tools that
produce professional, authentic tracks based on real performances from skilled musicians. Why waste a lot of
time trying to imitate a Darbuka player with a MIDI track and some multisamples? Why not just hire the best
guys for the job?
Thanks to the proprietary FlexGroove engine Wizoo’s Virtual percussionists deliver nothing less than real
performances recorded by real musicians, with you in full control. Everything from the groove, the arrangement,
the timing and the tempo to the mix is in your hands, ready to make your song special.
The grooves of “Darbuka” were performed by Suat Borazan and Mohamed Zaki, two of the best Middle-
Eastern percussion players in the world and definitely big stars in their countries. Whether you’re into Middle-
Eastern music or just want to add the flavor to your tracks – these guys deliver with cultural credibility and
musical performances like nothing that was affordable for any of us – in the pre-Darbuka era that is.
