Looking for Dholki Classes in Mumbai?

Dholak is a classical North Indian percussion instrument. A dholak may either have traditional lacing or turnbuckle tuning. While the Dholak has a simple membrane and a handle on its right side it’s left-hand membrane has a special coating on the inner surface.

Dholak is basically a double-headed drum with the bass head on one side & the treble head on the other. When we hit the drums it vibrates in a frequency range, which pushes the air molecule and makes air molecules collide with each other and this collision produces vibrations in the whole medium too.

A medium-sized dhol. ‘The very emergence of soca is a tribute to Indian percussion instruments, particularly tabla, dholak, dhantal and jhanj.’

Construction. The smaller surface of the dholak is made of goat skin for sharp notes and the bigger surface is made of buffalo skin for low pitches, which allows a combination of bass and treble with rhythmic high and low pitches. … Sri Lankan dholaks and dholkis are made from hollowed coconut palm stems.
