Tabla : is a pair of drums. It consists of of a small right hand drum called dayan
and a larger metal one called bayan. The tabla has an interesting construction.
The dayan (right hand drum) is almost always made of wood. The diameter at
the membrane may run from just under five inches to over six inches.
The bayan (left hand drum) may be made of iron, aluminium, copper, steel, or
clay; yet brass with a nickel or chrome plate is the most common material.
Undoubtedly the most striking characteristic of the tabla is the large black spot
on each of the playing surfaces. These black spots are a mixture of gum, soot,
and iron filings. Their function is to create the bell-like timbre that is
characteristic of the instrument.

Ghatam : is nothing more than a large clay pot. It is very commonly
played in South Indian classical performances.
There are two actions of resonance. The primary one is the ringing
of the pot caused by striking. A very low resonance is also produced
by the cavity. This pitch is raised or lowered by opening or closing the
hole with the stomach.

Dholak : ivery 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
