Colourful Dholak

Simple and colourful this small double headed Indian drum is perfect for a party. The skins can be tightened or slackened by adjusting the metal rings on the ropes. Made from using a mango wood shell, 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. Although it originated in India, the versatile dholak is now used in a huge number of global musical styles.
