Tabla

The most prominent Indian rhythm instrument is a pair of two miniature kettle drums known as the tabla. The wooden treble drum and the bulbous bass drum are referred to as bayan and Dayan, respectively. Typically these two are always played together. Tabla is originally from the Indian subcontinent and is now famous worldwide.

The tabla is made up of two tiny drums of varying sizes and forms. Several different types of drums are created from hollowed-out wood, clay, or metal. The smaller drum (Dayan) produces the treble and tonal sounds, while the larger drum (baya) is utilized mostly to produce the bass.

The syahi is a central area of "tuning paste" on the head of each drum; the process gives these drums their distinct sound by allowing them to emit harmonic overtones. Syahi is made up of several layers of a starch-based paste combined with a black powder of diverse origins.

On the sides, they're strung with hoops, thongs, and wooden dowels. To tune, the drums, dowels, and hoops are utilized to tighten the membrane tension. The playing method is sophisticated and requires considerable use of fingers and palms in various configurations to create a wide variety of sounds and rhythms.
