Talk:Naqareh

Rebecca "Tabla" thesis
Requesting to remove/rewrite this part as it is utter nonsense. Tabla was created (not by the Ameer Khusro/ the qawwali author) in splitting the pakhawaj drum into two in order to fascillate Khyal and Thumri style of singing. It is true, that small style naggara styled drums are used and are sometimes played in Tabla style (and fingering) with shehnai (dukkarl). To state a possibility that tabla was derived from naggara is utter nonsense. Early tabla sets (still in use in Punjab and Afganistan) have simply cylinder shaped bass drums (known as Dhamma). Later, the more modern rounded Duggi was developed made from clay. Fashioned after the Duggi, finally the modern Bayan was developed from all kinds of metals.It's similarity to Mongol/Persian Naqqareh is just superficial as naggare are using bolts to join the metal slabs and Bayan are hammered (and recently solded). The name (tabla) was derived via Yemeni, Omani and Hadramauti Arabic. They used a small (naggara style) drum set (called tabla - i.e. drums) similar to modern Indian dukkarl. Identical drums are still in use in Yemen (not Persia), while the large Persian/Mongol Naqqareh is also used in India unchanged (also Pakistan at Sufi Darbars).These are also played with a similar Arab reed shehnai. On the contrary, there has been moves (in Rajasthan) to play tabla repetoire on the Naggara (Naqqareh). Naggara had ist associations with Sufi Darbars, Armies, Wrestling events....etc while Tabla had different associations with sarangi, red light districts,the bai's, thumri & dadra, mendicants,and lately Hindustani classical khyal music. The duckerl (and shehnai) has associations with marriage.People of the subcontinent where very keen to avoid an association of one's intruments groups that have/had a lower (or higher) social standing.It's therefore wrong to simply "asume" things. 95.223.187.171 (talk) 17:02, 8 October 2010 (UTC)
