That dhol reminded me of the songs that i use to sing with my cousins on shadis back home.
I will try to find a picture of the dool etc…

Are you writing a paper on dhols??
I’ve done a paper on Tabla…wanit?
I think Tabla is different from dhol…well, here’s what I found from a website about Dhols:
http://www.gupistan.com/gallery/1/dhol11.jpg
Information on Dhols:-
Dhol is a very popular folk drum of northern India. It is barrel shaped with a simple membrane on the right hand side. The left hand is also a single membrane with a special application on the inner surface. This application is a mixture of tar, clay and sand (dholak masala) which lowers the pitch and provides a well defined tone. There are two ways of tightening the dholak. Sometimes they are laced with rope, in which case, a series of metal rings are pulled to tighten the instrument. Sometimes metal turnbuckles are employed. It is said that this instrument used to occupy a position of considerable prestige. Today it is merely relegated to filmi and folk music.
This barrel-shaped drum is played with one curved beater and one flat stick for an exciting combination of thumps and slaps. Colorful shoulder strap, beaters, and festive decoratives included.
It is widely used all over the Indian sub-continent. In Pashto speaking areas, it is commonly used by the Khattak tribe, to a distinct beat, of which the Khattak dance is performed. It can be, and is used as a stand-alone instrument which accompanies wedding songs sung generally by women in the many thousands of villages and towns of south Asia.
It is played by men using two sticks. The Dhol is slung in the front from the neck using a string. The loud sound of a big Dhol can be heard a great distance.
Dhol is a very popular instrument played in festivals, fairs, folk dances and wrestling bouts. Its big round hollow body is made either of wood or some metal. Both the open ends are covered with goatskin that is tightened with the strings running across the body of the Dhol.
Tell me if you need more information or the source of this article or whatever. Hope it helps!
it depends hanie on what type of dhol and history you are looking into..i mean i have seen indian/pakistani dhols, irani dhols, afghani dhols, armenian dhols, mediterranean dhols, dhols from africa and all..same goes for rubab/rabab (whatever you wanna call it)
here’s two pics from afghani collection..sorry its black and white.
