Track 18 from Saydisc "Percussion Around the World" - notes from Maureen Hanke. (Also track 11 from Saydisc Listen to This! KS3.) 'The Shepherds' Music' is from Rajasthan and enables the clear sound of the dholak to be heard against the dadara santara, a type of Indian flute.
The dholak ia a double headed cylindrical drum that tapers slightly at each end. One head is usually slightly larger than the other and made of goatskin whilst the smaller head is calf hide. The tension of the heads is regulated by a system of hoops and rings around the edge of the head from which laces are attached down the outside of the drum shell. Smaller rings then placed around adjacent laces regulate the tension of the head.
