  • The dhol (Punjabi: ਢੋਲ) is a drum (a percussion musical instrument) widely used in India, usually the Punjab region, the Indian/Pakistani province of Punjab and Gujarat. North India, it was incorporated into Gujarati, Punjabi, Rajasthani, Somalian and other cultures from North India and abroad. Nowadays, it is very popular in modern Punjabi music played worlwide. The dhol is a barrel shaped drum made of Hard Wood which is carved out of a single block from a tree trunk. Usually about 20-26 inches long, it is harnessed around the shoulders using a thick cotton belt. There are usually 3 types of Wood, used to make a Dhol: * AMBH - Mango Tree * SHESHAM - Similar to Teak * TALLI - Similar to Mahogany The harder the Wood the Sharper, Louder and Clearer the sound. Each side of the Dhol has Goat Skins covering the open ends, one for the bass and one for the treble. The skins are laced together with one piece of cotton rope threaded through the edges of both skins. This is the more authentic way. The Modern day trend with Dhol's is to have a Plastic Western Drum Skin on the treble end, tensioned by metal nut adjusted hooks.
