These large glossy finished double-headed drums are called dholaks. Each fantastic drum has tough nylon stringing and welded metal tension rings. Although it originated in India, the versatile dholak is now used in a huge number of global musical styles. This brightly painted version of the bhangra dhol is traditionally used all across South Asia at weddings and other festivals and is also a major component of modern bhangra music.
The dholak is usually played with only the bare hands although some styles call for a metal thumb ring and it is usually played slung over the shoulder standing up, in the lap or under the knee on the floor. A real professional instrument for the passionate musician. This product will likely vary from the picture shown, Approx: 23cm ∅ × 45cm High, colours & patterns may vary.
