The tabla is
a membranophone percussion instrument originating from the Indian subcontinent,
consisting of a pair of drums, used in traditional, classical, popular and folk
music.
The name
tabla likely comes from tabl, the Persian and Arabic word for drum. However,
the ultimate origin of the musical instrument is contested by scholars, some
tracing it to West Asia, others tracing the evolution of indigenous musical
instruments of the Indian subcontinent.
The tabla
consists of two single-headed, barrel-shaped small drums of slightly different
size and shape: daya also called dahina meaning right (also called
"tabla"), and baya also called bahina meaning left (also called
"dagga").
The daya
tabla is played by the musician's right hand (dominant hand) and is about 5
inches in diameter and 7 Inches in height. It weighs around 849 gm.
The baya
tabla is a bit bigger and deep kettledrum shaped, about 7.5 inches in diameter
and 8 inches in height. It weighs around 807gm.
Each is made
of hollowed out wood or clay or brass, the daya drum laced with hoops, thongs
and wooden dowels on its sides. The dowels and hoops are used to tighten the
tension of the membrane. The daya is tuned to the ground note of the raga
called Sa (tonic in India music.
The baya
construction and tuning is about a fifth to an octave below that of the daya
drum. The musician uses his hand's heel pressure to change the pitch and tone
color of each drum during a performance.
Tabla
playing
The playing
technique is complex and involves extensive use of the fingers and palms in
various configurations to create a wide variety of different sounds and
rhythms, reflected in mnemonic syllables (bol).
In the
Hindustani style tabla is played in two ways: band bol and khula bol. In the
sense of classical music, it is termed "tali" and "khali".
It is one of the main qawali instrument used by Sufi musicians of Bangladesh,
Pakistan and India.
The tabla is
also an important instrument in the bhakti devotional traditions of Hinduism
and Sikhism, such as during bhajan and kirtan singing.
