The Five Star Khol has also the bass side provided with a black Gab like a Tabla. This gives it the possibility of a more differentiated modulation. In addition the whole body is made of brass which makes it much mor stabel as the clay version but also of course more expensive. Also in India the Khol player prefer now this model of the Khol.

BASIC INFORMATIONEN ON KHOL

The Khol is a double skin drum with a resonating body from northern and eastern India. It is mainly used traditionally for accompanying Bhajans and Kirtans. Its high skin is relatively small with a diameter of about 9 - 10 cm, which gives it a particularly high, piercing sound and it is used where this kind of sound is desirable. In India the Khol is used in folk music, in spiritual songs, Bajans, light classical songs, Kirtans and other devotional songs. The bass skin has a diameter of approximately 20 cm and is coated on the outside with a special paste in order to get a low sound. Both skins have, like the Tabla, a double leather layer at the outer rim. They are tautened by a leather strap.

The normal Tabla finger technique can usually be used. 108 different Taals are available for the Khol. There is a close connection between the way of playing the Tabla and the way of playing the Khol. However there are special syllables for the Khol such as Ta, Deta, Dhoia, Jhan, Ghini, TiT, Tini, Naka, Guru etc. Should the bass side have a too high tautness, the skin can be rubbed with a moist cotton cloth between Kinar and Gab.
