tabla
Pair of small drums, the principal percussion in the chamber music of N India. The higher-pitched dahina is a roughly cylindrical one-skinned drum, usually wooden, normally tuned to the raga's tonic. The bahina is a deep kettledrum usually of copper; its pitch varies with pressure from the heel of the player's hand. A disk of black tuning paste on the membrane of each drum gives it harmonic overtones.
