Dholaks have traditionally been used in folk music for centuries. These instruments are age old and are highly popular in the North. There are many variants which are similar to the Dholaks but larger in size. These are called Dhols. The other variants from the western region of India are high pitched and are also used in folk performances. These are called Dholkis. Often, Dholak and Dholki is used interchangeably for the same instrument although that is inaccurate since one hails from Northern India while the other hails from Western India, respectively.
