OF DRUMS, PERCUSSION & BEATS...

OF DRUMS, PERCUSSION & BEATS...

Tabla, Dholak, Mridangam, Dhaak, Pakhwaz, Khol, Maadal, Dhamsa, Kara, Nakara, Bongo, Drums, Pads and Cymbals... the percussion instruments that add rhythm and life to music ! The use of beats -  'talas', 'maatras' & 'loykari' make the world of music complete and satisfying.

Artisans from the East and West Singbhum districts of Jharkhand (Eastern India) are mostly sons of the soil,  who use their skill & expertise to produce indigenous percussion instruments like Tabla, Dholak, Pakhwaz, Mridangam, Dhamsa, Kara and Nakara for the lovers of music. Their trained hands combined with their  musical ears produce instruments that add 'life' to music.

The artisans in the pictures below belong to a small village called Vonta near Bhadurdih (adjacent to Patamda by the lake "Dimna"), about 15 km from Jamshedpur. The pictures were taken at the "Sunday roadside marketplace" at Sakchi, Jamshedpur, India.
