The name ''tabla'' likely comes from ''tabl'', the Arabic word for drum.<ref name="EmmertMinegishi1980">((cite book|author1=Richard Emmert|author2=Yuki Minegishi|title=Musical voices of Asia: report of (Asian Traditional Performing Arts 1978)|url=https://archive.org/details/musicalvoicesofa00asia|url-access=registration|access-date=25 December 2012|year=1980|publisher=Heibonsha|page=[https://archive.org/details/musicalvoicesofa00asia/page/266 266]))</ref> The ultimate origin of the musical instrument is contested by scholars, though some trace its evolution from indigenous musical instruments of the Indian subcontinent.<ref name="Gottlieb1993p1" />

The smaller drum (''dayan/tabla'') is used for creating treble and tonal sounds, while the primary function of the larger drum (''baya/dagga'') is for producing bass.

The playing technique is complex and involves extensive use of the fingers and palms in various configurations to create a wide variety of different sounds and rhythms, reflected in mnemonic syllables (''[[Bol (music)|bol]]'').

==Origins==

The history of the tabla is unclear, and there are multiple theories regarding its origins.<ref name="Gottlieb1993p1">((cite book|author=Robert S.

===Indian origins===
The Indian theory traces the origin of tabla to indigenous ancient civilization. The stone sculpture carvings in Bhaja Caves depict a woman playing a pair of drums, which some have claimed as evidence for the ancient origin of the tabla in India.<ref>((cite book|author=S Prajnanananda|title=A historical study of Indian music|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=guXibgtWsNwC|year=1981|publisher=Munshiram Manoharlal|page=82|isbn=9788121501774))</ref><ref name=hilj4>((cite journal |last=Meshram |first=Pradipkumar S. |date=1981 |title=The tabla in the Bhaja cave sculptures: A note |journal=Indica |volume=18 |page=57))</ref><ref name=hilj1>Mark Hijleh, 2019, [https://books.google.com/books?id=b6h8DwAAQBAJ&dq=bhaja+caves+tabla&pg=PT48 Towards a Global Music History: Intercultural Convergence, Fusion, and transformation in the human musical history], Routledge</ref> A different version of this theory states that the tabla acquired a new Arabic name during the Islamic rule, having evolved from ancient Indian ''puskara'' drums. The evidence of the hand-held ''puskara'' is founded in many temple carvings, such as at the 6th and 7th century [[Mukteshvara Temple, Bhubaneswar|Muktesvara]] and Bhuvaneswara temples in India.<ref name="Dean2012p104"/><ref name="Gottlieb1993p2">((cite book|author=Robert S. Gottlieb|title=Solo Tabla Drumming of North India |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=f-xk7L_DNcUC&pg=PA1|year=1993|publisher=Motilal Banarsidass |isbn=978-81-208-1093-8|pages=2–3))</ref><ref name="Singh2000p135">((cite book|author=Pashaura Singh|title=The Guru Granth Sahib: Canon, Meaning and Authority|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=HMvXAAAAMAAJ|year=2000|publisher=Oxford University Press|isbn=978-0-19-564894-2|pages=135–136))</ref> These arts show drummers who are sitting, with two or three separate small drums, with their palm and fingers in a position as if they are playing those drums.<ref name="Gottlieb1993p2"/> However, it is not apparent in any of these ancient carvings that those drums were made of the same material and skin, or played the same music, as the modern tabla.<ref name="Gottlieb1993p2"/>

The textual evidence for similar material and methods of construction as ''tabla'' comes from [[Sanskrit]] texts. The earliest discussion of ''tabla''-like musical instrument building methods are found in the Hindu text ''[[Natyashastra]]''. This text also includes descriptions of paste-patches (''syahi'') such as those found on a tabla.<ref name="Gottlieb1993p2"/> The ''Natyashastra'' also discusses how to play these drums. The South Indian text ''[[Silappatikaram]]'', likely composed in the early centuries of 1st millennium CE, describes thirty types of drums along with many stringed and other instruments. These are, however, called ''pushkara''; the name ''tabla'' appears in later periods.<ref>((cite book|author1=Bruno Nettl|author2=Ruth M. Stone|author3=James Porter |display-authors=etal |title=The Garland Encyclopedia of World Music|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=ZOlNv8MAXIEC&pg=PA327 |year=1998|publisher=Taylor & Francis|isbn=978-0-8240-4946-1|page=327))</ref>

===Muslim and Mughal origins===
This theory is based on the etymological links of the word ''tabla'' to Arabic word ''tabl'' which means "drum". Beyond the root of the word, this proposal points to the documentary evidence that the Muslim armies had hundreds of soldiers on camels and horses carrying paired drums as they invaded the Indian subcontinent. They would beat these drums to scare the residents, the non-Muslim armies, their elephants and chariots, that they intended to attack. However, the war drums did not look or sound anything like ''tabla'', they were large paired drums and were called ''[[Naqareh|naqqara]]'' (noise, chaos makers).<ref name="Gottlieb1993p1"/>

Another version states that Amir Khusraw, a musician patronized by Sultan [[Alauddin Khalji]] invented the ''tabla'' when he cut an ''Awaj'' drum, which used to be hourglass shaped, into two parts. However, no painting or sculpture or document dated to his period supports it with this evidence nor it was found in the list of musical instruments that were written down by Muslim historians. For example, Abul Fazi included a long list of musical instruments in his ''Ain-i-akbari'' written in the time of the 16th century Mughal Emperor [[Akbar]], the generous patron of music. Abul Fazi's list makes no mention of ''tabla''.<ref name="Gottlieb1993p1"/>

The third version credits the invention of ''tabla'' to the 18th century musician, with a similar sounding name Amir Khusru, where he is suggested to have cut a ''[[Pakhawaj]]'' into two to create ''tabla''. Miniature paintings of this era show instruments that sort of look like ''tabla''. This theory implies that ''tabla'' emerged from within the Muslim community of Indian subcontinent and were not an Arabian import.<ref name="Gottlieb1993p1"/><ref name="Lavezzoli2006p37">((cite book|author=Peter Lavezzoli|title=The Dawn of Indian Music in the West|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=OSZKCXtx-wEC&pg=PA37|year=2006|publisher=Bloomsbury Academic|isbn=978-0-8264-1815-9|pages=37–39))</ref> However, scholars such as Neil Sorrell and Ram Narayan state that this legend of cutting a ''pakhawaj'' drum into two to make ''tabla'' drums "cannot be given any credence".<ref name="SorrellNarayan1980p40"/>

Various Hindu and Jain temples, such as the Eklingji in Udaipur, Rajasthan show stone carvings of a person playing tabla-like small pair of drums. Small drums were popular during the [[Seuna dynasty|Yadava rule]] (1210 to 1247) in the south, at the time when [[Sangita Ratnakara]] was written by [[Sarangadeva]].  [[Madhava Kandali]], 14th century [[Assamese people|Assamese]] poet and writer of [[Saptakanda Ramayana]], lists several instruments in his version of ''"Ramayana"'', such as tabal, [[Anklet|jhajhar]], [[dotara]], [[Veena|vina]], [[Rudra veena|bīn]], [[Vipanchi veena|vipanchi]], etc. (meaning that these instruments existed since his time in 14th century or earlier).There is recent iconography of the tabla dating back to 1799.<ref>[http://www.laits.utexas.edu/solvyns-project/solvynsonline/pages/Calcutta160.html] [[Frans Balthazar Solvyns]], ''A Collection of Two Hundred and Fifty Coloured Etchings'' (1799)</ref> This theory is now obsolete with iconography carvings found in Bhaje caves providing solid proof that the tabla was used in ancient India.

According to classifications of musical instruments defined in the ''[[Natyashastra]]'', Tabla is classified in the ''Avanadha Vadya'' category of rhythm instruments which are made by capping an empty vessel with a stretched skin.<ref name=":2" />

==Construction and features==
((More citations needed section|date=June 2009))
The tabla consists of two single-headed, barrel-shaped small drums of slightly different sizes and shapes: ''baya'' and ''daya'' for left and right drums, respectively.<ref name="brittabla" /><ref name=":0" />

[[File:Ustad Zakir Hussain 2.jpg|thumb|right|[[Zakir Hussain (musician)|Ustad Zakir Hussain]] performing at [[Konark]], [[Odisha]].  This illustrates the common sitting position used by tabla players.]]
The smaller drum, played with the dominant hand, is called dayan (literally "right" side), dāhina, siddha or chattū, but is correctly called the "tabla." It is made from a conical piece of mostly [[teak]] and [[rosewood]] hollowed out to approximately half of its total depth. The ''daya tabla'' is played by the musician's right hand (dominant hand), and is about 15 centimetres (~6 in) in diameter and 25 centimetres (~10 in) high. The drum is tuned to a specific note, usually either the [[Tonic (music)|tonic]], [[Dominant (music)|dominant]] or [[subdominant]] of the soloist's key and thus complements the [[melody]]. This is the ground note of the ''[[raga]]'' called ''Sa'' (the tonic in Indian music).<ref name="brittabla" /> The tuning range is limited although different dāyāñs are produced in different sizes, each with a different range. Cylindrical wood blocks, termed Gatta, are inserted between the strap and the shell allowing tension to be adjusted by their vertical positioning. Fine tuning is achieved while striking vertically on the braided portion of the head using a small, heavy hammer. While tabla usually features two drums, a [[tabla tarang]] may consist of 10-16 dayas to perform melodies based on several [[ragas]].

The ''baya tabla'' is a bit bigger and deep kettledrum shaped, about 20 centimetres (~8 in) in diameter and 25 centimetres (~10 in) in height. It played with the non-dominant hand, is called bāyāñ (literally "left") duggī or dhāmā (correctly called "dagga"), has a much deeper [[bass (sound)|bass]] [[timbre|tone]], much like its distant cousin, the [[kettle drum]]. The bāyāñs can be found to be made up of many different types of materials.  Brass is the most common, copper is more expensive, but generally held to be the best, while aluminum and steel are often found in inexpensive models. Sometimes wood is used, especially in old bāyāñs from the Punjab. Clay is also used, although not favored for durability; these are generally found in the North-East region of Bengal. The ''baya'' construction and tuning is about a fifth to an octave below that of the ''daya'' drum. The musician uses his hand's heel pressure to change the [[Pitch (music)|pitch]] and [[tone colour]] of each drum during a performance.<ref name="brittabla" /><ref name="SorrellNarayan1980p40" />

The [[drumhead|head]] of each drum has a central area of "tuning paste" called the [[syahi]] (lit. "ink"; a.k.a. ''shāī'' or ''gāb''). ''Syahi'' is common in many drums of Indian origin. This method allows these drums to produce [[Overtone|harmonic overtones]] and is responsible for their unique sound.<ref>((Cite journal|last1=Raman|first1=C. V.|last2=Kumar|first2=Sivakali|s2cid=4159476|date=1920|title=Musical Drums with Harmonic Overtones|journal=Nature|language=en|volume=104|issue=2620|pages=500|doi=10.1038/104500a0|bibcode=1920Natur.104..500R|issn=0028-0836|doi-access=free))</ref>  ''Syahi'' is constructed using multiple layers of a paste made from starch (rice or wheat) mixed with a black powder of various origins. The precise construction and shaping of this area is responsible for modification of the drum's natural overtones, resulting in the clarity of pitch (see [[inharmonicity]]) and variety of tonal possibilities unique to this instrument which has a bell-like sound. The skill required for the proper construction of this area is highly refined and is the main differentiating factor in the quality of a particular instrument. The earliest discussion of these paste-patches are found in the Hindu text ''[[Natyashastra]]''.<ref>((Cite book|last=Gottlieb, Robert S.|title=Solo tabla drumming of North India : its repertoire, styles, and performance practices|date=1993|publisher=Motilal Banarsidass Publishers|isbn=81-208-1095-3|edition=1st Indian|location=Delhi|oclc=30620399))</ref>

For stability while playing, each drum is positioned on a [[toroid]]al bundle called ''chutta'' or ''guddi'', consisting of plant fiber or another malleable material wrapped in cloth. They are commonly played while sitting cross-legged on the floor.

Indian music is traditionally practice-oriented and until the 20th century did not employ written notations as the primary media of instruction, understanding, or transmission. The rules of Indian music and compositions themselves are taught from a guru to a shishya, in person. Thus oral notation for playing tabla strokes and compositions is very developed and exact. These are made up of [[Onomatopoeia|onomatopoetic]] syllables and are known as [[Bol (music)|bols]].

Written notation is regarded as a matter of taste and is not standardized. Thus there is no universal system of written notation for the rest of the world to study Indian music. The two popular systems for writing notations were created by [[Vishnu Digambar Paluskar]] and [[Vishnu Narayan Bhatkhande]].<ref name=":1">((Cite book|last=Naimpalli, Sadanand.|title=Theory and practice of tabla|date=2005|publisher=Popular Prakashan|isbn=81-7991-149-7|location=Mumbai|pages=71–73|oclc=61285249))</ref><ref name=":3" /> These notations are named after their respective creators. Both these systems have bols written down in a script such as [[Latin script|Latin]] or [[Devanagari]]. The differences arise in representation of various concepts of a compositions, such as ''Taali, Khaali, Sum'' (the first beat in a rhythmic cycle''),'' and ''Khand'' (divisions). Another difference is the use of numerals in the Vishnu Narayan Bhatkande system to represent ''[[Matra (music)|matras]]'' and beat measures, whereas more sophisticated symbols are used in the Vishnu Digambar Paluskar system to denote one ''matra'', its fractions and combinations.<ref name=":1" />

==Basic strokes==
Tabla's repertoire and techniques borrow many elements from [[Pakhavaj]] and [[Mridangam]], which are played sideways using one's palms. The physical structure of these drums also share similar components: the smaller pakhavaj head for the dayan, the naqqara kettledrum for the bayan, and the flexible use of the bass of the [[dholak]].<ref>Stewart R.  Unpublished thesis, UCLA, 1974</ref> Tabla is played from the top and uses "finger tip and hand percussive" techniques allowing more complex movements.<ref name="britannica1">((cite web|date=September 2015|title=tabla (musical instrument) –|url=http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/579723/tabla))</ref> The rich language of tabla is made up of permutations of some basic strokes. These basic strokes are divided into 5 major categories along with a few examples:<ref name=":3">((Cite book |last=Beronja |first=Srdjan |title=The art of the Indian tabla|date=2008|publisher=Rupa & Co|isbn=978-81-291-1431-0|location=New Delhi|pages=127|oclc=318093440))</ref><ref>((cite web|last=Courtney|first=Todd A.

# Bols played on the ''daya'' (right / treble drum)
#* ''Na:'' striking the edge of the syahi with the last two fingers of the right hand

#* ''TriKe'': ''Ti'' immediately followed by ''Ke'' and ''Te''

==Tabla Talas==
[[Tala (music)|Tala]] defines the musical meter of a composition. It is characterized by groups of [[Matra (music)|matras]] in a defined time cycle.<ref name=":2" /> Talas are composed of basic elements, [[Bol (music)|bols]]. ''Matra'' defines the number of beats within a rhythm. Talas can be of 3 to 108 matras. They are played in repeated cycles. The starting beat of each cycle is known as ''Sum''. This beat is often represented by a special symbol such as 'X'. This is the most emphasized beat of the cycle. Other emphasized parts of the tala which are represented by ''Taali'' (clap), while ''Khali'' (empty) portions are played in a relaxed manner.  They are represented by a 'O' in Vishnu Narayanan Bhatkhande notation.  Tali is often marked by a numeral representing its beat measure. Separate sections or stanzas of a tala are called ''Vibhagas''.

Three main types of tempos or ''layas'' are used in playing Tabla talas: 1) Slow ''(vilambit)'' or half speed, 2) Medium ''(madhya)'' or reference speed, and 3) Fast ''(drut)'' or double speed. Keeping these three tempos as reference other variations of these tempos are also defined such as ''Aadi laya'' where bols are played at one and a half speed of medium tempo. Others  such as ''Ati Ati drut laya'' stands for very very fast tempo.<ref name=":3" />  Modern tabla players often use [[Beats Per Minute|beats per minute]] measures as well.<ref>((Cite web|title=Rhythm (taal) in Indian Classical Music - Raag Hindustani|url=https://raag-hindustani.com/Rhythm.html|access-date=17 August 2020|website=raag-hindustani.com))</ref>

There are many talas in Hindustani music. [[Teental]] or Trital is one of the most popular tala played on Tabla. It has 16 beat measures or ''matras,'' and can be written down as 4 sections of 4 ''matras'' each. Teental can be played at both slow and fast speeds.  Other talas such as Dhamaar, Ek, Jhoomra and Chau talas are better suited for slow and medium tempos. While some flourish at faster speeds, such as like Jhap or Rupak talas. Some of the popular Talas in Hindustani Classical music include:

== Tabla Gharanas ==
Tabla [[gharana]]s are responsible for the development of variety of new bols, characteristic playing techniques, composition styles and rhythmic structures. Gharanas acted as a means of preserving these styles between generations of tabla players.  First recorded history of gharanas is in the early 18th century. Delhi gharana is considered to be the first and the oldest traditional tabla tradition. Its students were responsible for the spawn of other gharanas as well. Each of these gharanas include a handful of  prominent players and maestros. They carry the honorific title '[[Pandit]]' and '[[Ustad]]' for Hindus and Muslim tabla players, respectively. Modernization and accessible means of travel have reduced the rigid boundaries between these gharanas in recent times.<ref name=":3" /><ref name=":2" />

===The different Gharanas in Tabla===
* [[Delhi gharana|Delhi Gharana]]
* [[Lucknow gharana (tabla)|Lucknow Gharana]]
* [[Ajrara gharana|Ajrada Gharana]]
* [[Farukhabad gharana|Farukhabad Gharana]]

==Kayda==
A '''Kayda''' or '''Kaida''' is a type of Tabla composition. There are major two types of tabla compositions, fixed (pre-composed) and improvised (composed and improvised at the time of the practicing or performing). A rhythmic seed (theme) is introduced, which is then used as a basis for elaboration through improvisation and/or composition. The word '''Kayda''' is an Arabic or Hindi word which means 'rule' or 'a system of rules'.<ref>((Cite web|title=कायदा - Meaning in English - Shabdkosh|url=https://www.shabdkosh.com/dictionary/english-hindi/%E0%A4%95%E0%A4%BE%E0%A4%AF%E0%A4%A6%E0%A4%BE/%E0%A4%95%E0%A4%BE%E0%A4%AF%E0%A4%A6%E0%A4%BE-meaning-in-hindi|access-date=9 December 2020|website=Shabdkosh.com))</ref><ref>((Cite web|url=https://carnatic-circle.com/tabla-lessonsnotes/kaidapaltas/|title=Kaida/Paltas -|website=Carnatic-circle.com|access-date=19 April 2021))</ref> The rules for playing a kayda are complex, but in short, one must only use the bols that are in the original theme. This original theme is known as a Mukh. The kayda form originated in the [[Delhi Gharana]] of tabla playing and serves three fundamental and very important roles for tabla players.<ref>((Cite web|title=Tabla|url=https://www.melbournetablaschool.com/tabla.html|access-date=9 December 2020|website=Melbourne Tabla School|language=en))</ref> The Dayan (Right side tabla - also known as '''Dagga''') and Bayan (Left side tabla - just known as '''Tabla''') of the Tabla are used in synchronization to form a Kayda. Kaydas can be played in any Tala. But in most of the concerts Teental and their Kaydas are played very often. Note that in [[tala (music)|tala]]s like [[Dadra]] and [[Keherwa]] or in ((transliteration|hi|italic=no|thekas)) like [[Bhajan]]i, ((transliteration|hi|italic=no|laggis)) are played, ((transliteration|hi|italic=no|kaydas)) are not played. The reason for this is that these ((transliteration|hi|italic=no|talas/thekas)) mentioned in the previous line are specifically played for Semi-Classical and light music ([[Bhajans]], [[Kirtans]], [[Thumris]], etc.) and not for Hindustani classical music. Different Gharanas have their own Kaydas.

Basic structure of a kayda -

#Mukh - Basic bol which is called as '''Mukh''' that means face of the particular Kayda.<ref>((Cite web|url=http://www.enghindi.com/english-word-for-mukh.html|title=English Word for mukh - मुख का अंग्रेजी में अर्थ - EngHindi.com|website=Enghindi.com|access-date=19 April 2021))</ref> The kayda's bols are structured out of the Mukh.
#Dohara - '''Dohara''' is the repetition of the Mukh 3 times. Dohara means to repeat. In Hindi it is called Doharana that means to repeat.<ref>((Cite web|url=http://www.hindi2dictionary.com/%E0%A4%A6%E0%A5%8B%E0%A4%B9%E0%A4%B0%E0%A4%BE%E0%A4%A8%E0%A4%BE-meaning-english.html|title=(Doharana) दोहराना meaning in English &#124; Matlab &#124; Definition|website=Hindi2dictionary.com|access-date=19 April 2021))</ref>
#Adha Dohara - '''Adha Dohara''' is the repetition of the first bol of the Mukh.
#Vishram - '''Vishram''' means taking rest.<ref>((Cite web|url=https://shabdkosh.raftaar.in/Meaning-of-%E0%A4%B5%E0%A4%BF%E0%A4%B6%E0%A5%8D%E0%A4%B0%E0%A4%BE%E0%A4%AE-in-English|title=Meaning of विश्राम in English &#124; विश्राम का अर्थ (विश्राम ka Angrezi Matlab)|website=Shabdkosh.raftaar.in|access-date=19 April 2021))</ref> As the name suggests, a minute of pause is taken from the bol.
#Adha Vishram - '''Adha Vishram''' is the repetition of taking a pause i.e. repetition of the bol that was repeated in Vishram.
#Palta - '''Palta''' is a variation of various bols but these bols are stuck or are only from the bols which are there in the Mukh. This Palta is a section of the whole Kayda.<ref>((Cite web|url=https://forum.chandrakantha.com/post/creating-paltas-for-kaidas-8674634|title=Creating Paltas for Kaidas|website=Forum.chandrakantha.com|access-date=19 April 2021))</ref><ref>((Cite web|url=http://52kaidas.blogspot.com/2010/02/uthan-palta-theka.html|title=52 Kaidas: Uthan, Palta Theka|website=52kaidas.blogspot.com|date=22 February 2010|access-date=19 April 2021))</ref> Now what it means that Palta is a section. It means that like Mukh, Dohara, Adha Dohara, Vishram, Adha Vishram, these 4 names are not or cannot be repeated. So there is no duplications of all the 4 names taken. So all of the 4 names taken above, there are played only once. But a Palta, as said it is a section. joining various bols many such Palte (plural form of Palta) can be created.
#Tihai - The musical phrase sung or played thrice to arrive at the Sam/Sum is called a '''Tithai'''. It is the last part of a Kayda. The Mukh's last part is played thrice i.e. 3 times and then the particular Kayda is ended.<ref name="Ranade2006">((cite book|author=Ashok Damodar Ranade|title=Music Contexts: A Concise Dictionary of Hindustani Music|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=cFwbGi3oBHgC&pg=PA167|access-date=16 October 2012|date=1 January 2006|publisher=Bibliophile South Asia|isbn=978-81-85002-63-7|pages=167–))</ref>

Just like Kaydas, there are Relas and Ravs (or Raus).
