Jia Dan Porcelain Drum (Karnatik Percussion Instrument)

Jia Dan porcelain drum is a thick-walled (2cm) clay pot.

Jia Dan Porcelain Drum and Mzhdangan are the main Karnati percussion instruments.

3. Kangjila (Kannadik, percussion instrument)

Kangjila (Karnataka percussion instrument)

Kangjila is a small tambourine. It is made of elastic lizard skin covered on a wooden frame. The diameter of the frame is about 7 inches (17.78 cm), and the circular metal soundboard is embedded. Kangjila is very popular in classical music performances in southern India. However, because it is difficult to play continuously for a long time, it is not the main instrument, but only attached to the performance of magic singles.

PS( 1): Indian tambourine is an ancient musical instrument in India. It has often appeared in ancient Indian classics for thousands of years and is the most common drum instrument in South India after Mridengam. Indian tambourines are slightly smaller than those in the Middle East and the West, about 8 to 9 inches wide and 3 to 4 inches deep. Indian tambourine has only one drum skin, which is made of lizard skin or snakeskin, so some people call it Indian snakeskin drum. In addition, there are 2/3 pieces of circular metal bell plates attached to the circular wooden ring, which will make a metallic sound when you beat or shake the drum. Underhit Indian tambourine, the left hand holds the drum, and the right hand plays the drum with palm or finger (the same is true for backhand). Indian tambourine is small in size, but powerful. If you don't see the performers, it's out of proportion to hear loud voices. Because the Indian tambourine can't be tuned due to lack of playing, if the drum head is tight, you can sprinkle some water on it to improve it. For example, when the drum head is wet and loose, you can bask in the sun, use a lamp or a hair dryer, but be careful, it may hurt the drum head. In secret. Indian tambourines without metal plates are also available.

4. Muridanga (Kannadik, percussion instrument)

Magic single (Karnatik percussion instrument)

Magic sheet is a kind of musical instrument, which is used to control and maintain the "Tara" or rhythm of concerts in Karnatik music. The drum body is made of Jack wood (Mupolo, produced in zhina Peninsula of India in western India and Southeast Asia), and the drum surface and surrounding ropes are made of leather.

Magic single is a double-sided drum. The drum body is made of a whole piece of wood. The barrel is hollow and divided into two sections with different sizes. One section is slender, which is used to make high notes, and the other section is thick and wide, which is used to make low notes. The wall thickness of the drum body is only 2/3 cm, which helps to maintain its stability in low-frequency sound.

Right-hand end (bass): a fixed piece made of manganese powder, rice and tamarind juice on the right-hand drum head of Magic Single, which is used to stabilize the drum head tension and improve the timbre. The fixed piece forms a permanent black round surface in the center of the drum surface, and the notes from the drum surface can be tuned to the first note of a scale, that is, the tonic. Using different finger groups to hit the drum surface can produce different harmony. One end of the left hand (treble): The head of the left hand is bare, but when playing, the drummer will mix the mashed uncooked rice with water and smear it in the center of the drum head, which will produce a unique muddy or boring sound effect. The drums on both sides are connected by a plurality of belts.

Magic single root and Gadan porcelain drum are the main rhythmic instruments of Kanatik music.
