Matching the tune with the song's mood and timing is necessary for any striking instrument. Even boys and man play Dholak their style of playing Dholak is different than ladies style. Ladies style Dholak has some simple beats. But boys in India and in Fiji have variety of Taals (tune) which is not seen in foreign country.
