The pakhawaj drum is an Indian barrel-shaped, two headed drum, variant and descendant of the mridang. It is the standard percussion instrument in the drupad style and is widely used as an accompaniment for various forms of music and dance performances particularly those from India. The pakhawaj drum has a low, mellow tone, very rich in harmonics. Set horizontally on a cushion in front of the drummer_s crossed leg, the larger bass-skin is played with the left hand, the treble skin by the right hand. The bass face is smeared with wet wheat dough which acts as the kiran and is the cause of the vivid, bass sound the pakhawaj produces. This makes it very traditional in its built and rich sound. Mahapurush Misra played the pakhawaj on the George Harrison Beatles song The Inner Light. George Harrison was the lead guitarist of the Beatles, one of the greatest bands in the history of modern music. Important Features:
