@tamborero88

Thank you for your interest. When correctly tuned there should be only one tone. But it is possible to get different timbres.

a) Hitting on the edge (pointed ) produces more tonal sound.

b) Hitting on the right edge so the drum stick form a chord to drum head (more stick length for this oblique stroke) gives tonal loud sound with a different texture.

c) Hitting on the centre produces loudest not so tonal sound with some noise and different timbre. A and B are used often. See next

Stroke A is the major difference between closed rim Chenda of Kerala and Open rim Chande of Yakshagana. Yakshagana Chande can produce more tonal sound using stroke A.

mr. raguks

In which part of the head do you beat in order to get the two different tones: low and high.

Thank you very much.

Thanks for posting - More than anything it is worth noting how organized our Yakshaga is and Mahabaleshwar is doing true justice to it
