Description
The Tabla is thought of as the queen of drums and percussion instruments and is the preferred Indian rhythm instrument. It consists of two drums, the Bayan (big bass drum) and the Dayan.The two of them are almost at all times played together.Both drums have a body that may be closed at the bottom. The open top is mostly covered with a goat leather skin. To the edge of this basic skin, a second skin (Kani) is attached. In the centre of the skin is the so-known as GAB: a black area which gives the instrument a special sound and makes the variety of sounds and modulations imaginable. This can be a fine art to apply this GAB in the right kind mixture, consistency and strength of a paste which is composed mainly of rice flour and iron filings. When playing, the two drums are placed on rings (Bira) which beef up them. The tuning wedges that are held by leather straps at the sides are meant for tuning the instrument. Depending on whether the wedges are beaten upwards or downwards by the tuning hammer, the sound gets lower or higher. A fine tuning is done by beating with the tuning hammer on the woven ring around the skin.
