Traditional Dholak Drum Musical Instrument For Party Events Handmade
Sri Lanka
·
Discription,
The Dholak is a two-headed hand drum, a folk percussion
instrument. The instrument is about 45 cm in length and 27 cm in
breadth and is widely used in qawwali, kirtan, lavani and bhangra.
The drum has two different sized drumheads. The smaller drumhead is made of
goat skin for sharp notes while the bigger drumhead is made of buffalo skin for
low pitch. The two drumheads allow a combination of bass and treble with
rhythmic high and low pitches. The body or shell of the Dholak is made of sheesham or
mango wood. The larger membrane has a compound (Syahi) applied which helps
to lower the pitch and produce the sound. The smaller drumhead is played with
the left hand which produces a high pitch. A cotton rope lacing and
screw-turnbuckle are used to release tension while playing. Steel rings/pegs
are twisted inside the laces to attain fine tuning. Dholak can be played in
three ways — on the player’s lap, while standing, or pressed down with one knee
while sitting on the floor.

Playing
Style,
The drum is either played on the player's lap or, while
standing, slung from the shoulder or waist or pressed down with one knee while
sitting on the floor.
In some styles of playing (such as Punjab) an iron thumb ring
is used to produce a distinctive "chak" rim sound. In other styles
(such as Rajasthani), all fingers are generally used.
Dholak masters are often adept at singing or chanting and may
provide a primary entertainment or lead drumming for a dance troupe. Perhaps[according
to whom?] the most characteristic rhythm played on the dhol is a quick
double-dotted figure that may be counted in rhythmic solfege as "
On large dholaks, known as dhols, the high-pitched head may
be played using a thin (1/4" / 6 mm or less) long (over 14" / 30 cm)
stick of rattan or bamboo (rattan is preferred for its flexibility) and the
low-pitched drum head using a somewhat thicker, angled stick.
