DEF

(...) tambour iranien en bois de noyer ou de mûrier, à une peau, dont la caisse cylindrique large et courte se rétrécit en un pied légèrement évasé à la base. On le tient horizontalement, l'avant-bras gauche reposant sur la caisse et la maintenant sur le genou gauche, tandis que l'on frappe la peau des deux mains.

CONT

La technique du zarb exige une souplesse considérable du poignet et des doigts. On pratique une grande variété d'attaques sur la membrane de peau d'agneau, sur sa caisse de bois ou le long de ses rainures, ainsi que sur les bords du tambour.
