Dholak

The dholak is a South Asian two-headed hand-drum. It may have traditional cotton rope lacing, screw-turnbuckle tensioning or both combined: in the first case steel rings are used for tuning or pegs a twisted inside the laces. The dholak is mainly a folk instrument, lacking the exact tuning and playing techniques of the tabla or the pakhawaj. The drum is pitched, depending on size, with an interval of perhaps a perfect fourth or perfect fifth between the two heads. It is related to the larger Punjabi dhol and the smaller dholki. The smaller face of dholak is made up of she goat skin for sharp note and bigger face is made up of skin of he goat,buffalofor low pitch which makes dholak a great variation of bass and treble with rythmic high and low pitch .
