Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : Tabla, Dholak, & Drums 

The correct answer is Tabla, Dholak, & Drums.

  • Percussion instruments include any instrument that makes a sound when it is hit, shaken, or scraped.
  • Tabla:-
    • A tabla is a pair of twin hand drums from the Indian subcontinent.
    • It has been the principal percussion instrument in Hindustani classical music, where it may be played solo, as an accompaniment with other instruments and vocals, and as a part of larger ensembles. 
  • Dholak:-
    • It is a two-headed hand-drum from the Indian subcontinent.
    • It may have traditional cotton rope lacing, screw-turnbuckle tensioning or both combined in the first case steel rings are used for tuning, or pegs are twisted inside the laces.
    • The dholak is mainly a folk instrument, lacking the exact tuning and playing techniques of the tabla or the pakhawaj. 
  • Drum:-
    • The drum is made of wood or brass with drumheads made of calfskin or plastic stretched over both ends of a hollow cylinder.
    • It has a set of wire-wrapped strings stretched across the bottom head (the snare), which gives the drum its unique "rattling" sound when the drum is hit. A small switch on the side of the drum allows the player to turn the snare on or off depending on the requirements of the piece.
