Dohol
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A dohol (Persian: دُهُل) is a large cylindrical drum with two skin heads. It is generally struck on one side with a wooden stick bowed at the end, and with a large thin stick on the other side, though it is also played by the bare hands. It is the principal accompaniment for the sorna (Persian oboe). It is used in both Iran and Afghanistan.
