About Polash Gomes Tabla Artist

The tabla is a membranophone percussion instrument. It consists of a pair of drums. The dayan and the bayan, standing for left and right. The dayan is played by the right hand and the bayan with the left hand, for people who are right handed. The drum has a goat skin membrane pulled tight, and covered by another skin. Both have a gab or black spot in the middle of the membrane made of rice flour and iron filings. This is what gives each table it’s distinctive sound.Buying an instrument sight unseen is dicey, so it is always better to buy from a trusted source and if you can visit a Tabla shop UK, it makes the whole process easier. Also a good Tabla shop UK would visit India and buy from trusted shops and artisans rather than just blindly over the phone. If you are unable to buy directly from a shop you may decide to buy online from sellers who can deliver to your door step and who will give you support even after the sale and delivery.
