View Product Details

Barrel shaped two headed drum with a wooden shell and goatskin heads. Heads are held in place and tuned by hooks and nuts. The dholak's higher-pitched head is a simple membrane while the bass head, played usually with the left hand, has a load inside that is a mixture of tar, clay and sand (dholak masala) which lowers the pitch and provides a well-defined tone. Drum is also equipped with handle for carrying. When playing you hold drum horizontally and both heads are played.

In India, these extremely popular percussion instruments are commonly used in folk music and during marriage ceremonies. The shells are manufactured in the northern Indian State of Uttar Pradesh. There locally grown neem and rosewood are used. After transporting to Mumbai, the goat skin heads are fitted to the drum shells with traditional leather cords. When playing, hold drum horizontally. Both heads can be played.
