तबला वादक

A set of this Indian drum instrument majorly consists of the following tabla parts: – two drums, the left drum and the right drum.

Dayaa and Bayaa in Tabla Set:

The drum that is played by the right hand is called the ‘dayaa’ (or the table) and the one played by the left hand is called the ‘dagga’ (or the ‘bayaa’).

In them, Tabla has smaller diameter than the Dagga. For that reason, Tabla produces a high pitch sound (treble component). Therefore, many tabla players keep two or more tabla with different diameters to produce different sound pitches.
