... in India. This is a percussion instrument. It has two drums. Both of them bring soul to the music and are treated with equal importance.
The smaller drum is called "daya". It is useful in creating the trebles and mostly tonal sounds and is adjusted for different pitch scales

The larger drum is called "Bayan" it is mostly used to creat bass sounds.

The drum has middle ink called "syahi" (ink) it has concentric rings which produce harmonic overtones on tabala and echoes

Tabla is made up or teak or rosewood. The straps around each drum holds the main skin of the drum in tension and the wooden blocks(gatta) are adjusted to change the pitch.

A tabla artist can make various sounds of nature using this instrument and bring out various melodies through combinations of beats on both the drums ❤️
