Egypt (Middle East)
Dohollah

Pronounced (" doe-hole-ah "), is the bass "tablah", and is also covered with fish or goatskin. It is about 2.5 times the size of a normal tablah. The dohollah is played similar to the tablah in technique, the only difference being that it acts as a support instrument rather than a lead instrument.
