The dholak is primarily a folk instrument used in traditional music across India, from the north to the south. It is a double-headed hand drum with a larger bass head and a smaller treble head, with the pitch determined by the size of each drum head. Originating from the Indian subcontinent, the dholak features screw turnbuckle tensioning, which allows the drum to be tuned.

Please note, we offer a wide range of Dholaks in various styles and sizes, and not all Dholaks are listed on the website.
