A tabla is a pair of hand-played drums used in Indian and Pakistani classical music. The set includes a smaller drum called the dayan, meaning "right," and a larger drum called the bayan, meaning "left." The dayan, played with the dominant hand, produces a high-pitched, crisp sound, while the bayan, played with the non-dominant hand, creates a deeper, resonant tone. The drums are struck with the fingers and palms to produce intricate rhythmic patterns and complex rhythms. The tabla is essential in many traditional and contemporary music styles from both India and Pakistan and is known for its expressive and dynamic performances.
