    👉 The tabla is a traditional Indian drum that plays an important role in classical music. It consists of a pair of drums, the larger Bayan and the smaller Dayan.

    The Bayan is made of brass and produces low tones, while the wooden Dayan produces higher tones.

    Known for its complex rhythms and interaction with other instruments, the tabla is used in both Indian classical music and other genres such as film music and folk.
