The madal (Nepali: मादल) or maadal is a Nepalese folk musical instrument.[1] The madal is used mainly for rhythm-keeping in Nepalese folk music. It is very popular and widely used as a hand drum in Nepal. The madal has a cylindrical body with a slight bulge at its center and heads at both ends, one head larger than the other. It is usually played horizontally in a seated position, with both heads played simultaneously.
The madal[2] is the national instrument of Nepal and is the backbone of most Nepali folk music.[3] The well-known Nepali musician Ranjit Gazmer introduced this instrument to Bollywood music when he started working under Rahul Dev Burman, and has used it in numerous Bollywood songs such as Hum Dono Do Premi and Kanchi Re Kanchi Re.[4] There is also a madal drum used by certain Adivasi groups.
