The B Arabian Nights is the scale that will fill you up with Middle East flair. Get the feeling of the rustling sand of the deserted nights filled in with the sickly-sweet taste or the 1001 Night Tales.

The Arabian Nights scale has its own very specific voice that differs from the rest of RAV drums (although it can have some sound similarities with B Onoleo). The tongues are tuned in 2nd, 3rd and 4th octave with the central Ding in B2. The B Arabian Nights is not a versatile scale but it adds a very unique flavour to your playing.
