The dabu and the eagle flute are two of the most popular instruments in Tajik music, and the wide drum frames are made of poplar wood, covered with Wolf or horse skin, and some dabu are equipped with iron cymbals, making the sound even more clanging like stone. In Tajik music, it is customary for two daboo tabla drums to be played at the same time, one for the accent and the other for the rhythm change, and the drummer is often a female drummer.

Legend has it that a pair of Tajik young people fell in love, but in the era of arranged marriage, the girl was promised to someone else, and wanted to murder her lover in the chaos of the wedding horse racing sheep fair. After hearing the girl's report, the young man insisted on coming to see her last side, the girl agreed to da Bu warning. That day, when he returned from victory, he heard the beating of drums like a rainstorm, and finally looked at his former lover, and then turned and rode his horse to the direction of the snow mountain, and was able to escape. In memory of the lovers, especially the brave girl, the female drumming of Dab has become an ancient Tajik tradition.
