The term 'Drum Indian' is a reference to the Tabla, a two-headed drum used in North Indian classical music. The Tabla is an important part of the Hindustani musical tradition and is played with the hands. It is made up of two drums, the dayan (right) and the bayan (left), which are tuned to different pitches. The dayan is usually made of wood and has a blackened head, while the bayan is made of metal and has a plain head. The Tabla is used to provide accompaniment for vocal and instrumental music, as well as for solo performances.
