Caucasian dhol

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A Caucasian dhol (Armenian: դհոլ, Azerbaijani: nağara, Chechen: вота пондар, romanized: vota pondar, Georgian: დოლი, romanized: doli, Russian: доули, romanizeddouli) is a kind of dhol drum in the Caucasus. This drum has traditionally been used by various Caucasian warriors in battles, and today is used in national folk music.

Construction

Caucasian Dhol drum

Сaucasian dhol is a double-sided barrel drum, the shell made from wood or acrylic plastic, and the heads from thin leather or synthetic plastic film. The traditional preference is a walnut wood shell and goat skin heads. The skin or plastic film should be spanned on strong iron round rod, strong during the tuning up of the drum heads the rod should not be bent, the round rod is optimal for touch hands. Adjustment made by hemp or synthetic rope.

Playing

The Сaucasian dhol is mostly played as an accompanying instrument with Garmon, Zurna and Clarinet. There are two playing variants, one with hands and the second with two wooden sticks. Usually the sticks are made of dogwood as a heavy type of wood is preferred.
