Online Pakhawaj/Ukhli-Dhama(Jori)/Tabla Course
Pakhawaj is one of the oldest percussion instruments used widely since the 13th century.
It is the standard percussion instrument used as an accompaniment in Dhrupad and Gurbani Kirtan.
Ukhli-Dhama (Jori) is the precursor of Tabla. It was played in Harminder Sahib but was replaced by Tabla few decades ago.
It consists of a pair of drums, and traditionally players would put wheat dough on the one drum before playing.
The playing style of Jori is like Pakhawaj.
