Tabla

tabla

A set of 2 pitched kettledrums from North India. The right drum has a ringing definite pitch, usually the fundamental tone of the raga (mode) being accompanied, while the left drum is lower and more indefinite in pitch. A staple of North Indian classical music and already very well known all over the world, it is capable of an enormous degree of rhythmic precision, complexity, speed and pitch inflection.
