Dholakとは 意味・読み方・使い方

The Dholak (Punjabi: ਢੋਲਕ, Devnagari: ढोलक in Suriname and Holland dhool) is a North Indian, Pakistani and Nepalese double-headed hand-drum Madal. The name dholki may also refer to a slightly different instrument that uses high-pitch tabla style syahi masala on its treble skin. This instrument is also known as Naal or Dholki. (Hindi/Urdu: pipe or tube). It is basically also a dholak that is often a bit narrower in diameter. Its treble skin is stitched with thread on an iron ring, similar to East Asian Janggu or Shime-daiko drums. This puts the skin into high tension before it is strung. The (Naal) skins are then fitted with a tabla style high-pitch syahi. The bass (Naal) skin often has the same made up as in ordinary dholak (i.e. being fitted on to a a bamboo ring, but sometimes they may have a Kinar and pleated Gajra as seen in tabla to withstand the extra tension while "sarsoon tel masala" is used from the inside (Dholak masala). Naal requires tabla-style fingering (Bol). Both styles may have traditional cotton robe lacing or a screw system turnbuckle tensioning or even both combined: in the first case steel rings are used for tuning or pegs a twisted inside the laces. Though the dholak is mainly a folk instrument, lacking the exact tuning necessity and playing techniques Bol of the tabla or the pakhawaj, it is widely used in qawwali, kirtan and Bhangra and various styles of North Indian folk and (also South Indian) film music. It was formerly used in classical dances.
