| | Tarang's Indian Drums & Percussion: Khol |
 | | The Khol is a double skin drum with a resonating body from northern and eastern India. |
 | | In India the Khol is used in folk music, in spiritual songs, Bajans, light classical songs, Kirtans and other devotional songs. |
 | | However there are special syllables for the Khol such as Ta, Deta, Dhoia, Jhan, Ghini, TiT, Tini, Naka, Guru etc. Should the bass side have a too high tautness, the skin can be rubbed with a moist cotton cloth between Kinar and Gab. |
