BASIC INFORMATION ON DHOLAK

The Dholak is a very popular drum with double skins from the northern Indian folk music. The difference in diameter of the high skin and the bass skin is relatively small. In order to still get a powerful bass tone, the bass skin is made heavier by a special paste. Contrary to many other Indian drums, the Dholak has simple smooth skins on both sides. This makes it playable not only by using the differentiating finger techniques common in India, but also by using the whole hand like many African and South American drums. Both skins are tautened by a cotton cord that runs through movable metal rings. The Dholak has been built since about 1300 AD and has been used in folklore, opera, kawoali, for simple songs and also in film music. For instance it is used in the Punjab Village that is well-known in India, in Bihar and Uttar Pradesh in folksongs; in Bengal in the opera and in poetic songs.

There are many different Dholaks on the Indian market but we have chosen only three versions as even Bajan groups appreciate a high quality of Dholak sound and especially this one from our Five Star Dholaks.
