Tabla Bols
Na
or Ta
This
is the primary bol of the Tabla.
It is played only on the Tabla - (the right part). It
is necessary to place the tips of your fingers on the
tabla as shown in the photograph. You have to strike
the finger gently on the skin and never to hit very
hard.
Ge
(Ghe)
It
is the primary bol of the Dagga

middle finger of the left hand or by using the middle

these two fingers are even alternated to produce these
bols. It is very important to place the wrist behind
the shai and not on the shai.
