Dhol

Introduction about Dhol:- As we know that Dhol is a special
                                          musical instrument in a punjabi
                                          culture.Dhol has high base of volume
                                          and energetice. means to say that dhol
                                          is encourge to dance to anyone when it
                                          sound..

   

                 The dhol is double sided barrel drum played 
                 mostly as an accompanying instruments in
                 regional musical form.In Qawwali music, the
                 term dhol is used to describe a similar to 
                 drum, but samller drum used with a smaller
                 "Tabla" as a replacement for the left hand tabla
                 drum. The typical sizes of the drum vary slightly
                from region to region. In Punjab, the dhol remains
                large and bulky to produce the preferred loud bass.
                In other regions, dhols can be found in varying
               shapes and sizes and made with different woods
              and materials (fiberglass, Steel, Plastic). The drum
              consists of a wooden barrel with animal hide or
              synthetic skin stretched over its open ends, covering
              them completely. These skins can be stretched or
              loosened with a tightening mechanism made up of
              either interwoven ropes, or nuts and bolts. Tighten-
             ing or loosening the skins subtly alters the Pitch of
             the drum sound. The stretched skin on one of the
             ends is thicker and produces a deep, low frequency
             (higher bass) sound and the other thinner one pro-
             duces a higher frequency sound. Dhols with synthetic,
             or plastic, treble skins are very common.
            The introduction of electronic devices such as tape
            recorders has led to a decline in the importance of
           dhol players in celebratory events. Nevertheless, dhol
          music still figures in the studio recordings of present
          day  Raas/Garba and Bhangra music artists. A
          related  instrument is the dholak or dholki.   
          It was used in war by the Sikhs and later to celebrate
          successful harvests by the farmers.This drum became
         the ground roots of modern
Bhangra music. The dhol
         is also used ceremonially during Sikh wedding process-
         ions and parties.
