The most well-known percussion instrument in India is the tabla, which is used in many different musical genres worldwide. The tabla is still the most common classical rhythm instrument and has been used extensively in Hindustani classical music for the past few hundred years. The tabla is rich in heritage and complexity, but hand drums can be considered one of the simpler kinds of instruments. The tabla is a set of two drums with barrel-shaped bodies, closed resonating chambers, and stretched membrane heads.
