Hi Swellbow. I love the additions you've made to Tapan. One question: do you have references for the information? I don't doubt the truth of the information, but everything on Wikipedia should be sourced. Let me know if you need help.

Disambiguation link notification for September 5

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Davul, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Zurla (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Not shure that all the drums you name are realy fitting to the definition of davul

HI! I just started to verify all the names you list in the artikel. And with some I don´t agree! Tell you later why. But first a definition of Davul-like Drums: 1.) Must have two skins 2.) Must be of cylindrical shape (not thinner or thicker somewhere) 3.) Must be played on both sides of the skin 4.) Must be played with two different Sticks. One mallet and one very thin stick. Each stick for one side.

If you agree with this definition, than you have to have a clother look to some of the drums you mention in your names list:

India / Sri lanka Thavil Tavil As you can easy see when you give these names in google, that this is a drum that is played with hands and its barrel shaped.

Romania (Tobă/Dobă) Here I found only a video where the drum is beaten only with one stick. At the top of the drum was one half of a cymbal and the musician used the other half of the cymbal to beat it. and this translation from an description site I also have: TÓBĂ, drums, sf 1. Percussion musical instrument, consisting of a short, wide and hollow cylinder, of wood or metal, on the bottoms of which is stretched a skin membrane, which, struck (with two rods), produces sounds.

Israel תוף tof (Hebrew: tof) I found thes site which describes the drum - even with a video that shows, that this is never a davul like instrument: https://www.timesofisrael.com/jerusalem-festival-drums-up-ancient-sounds-of-a-forgotten-instrument/ Israeli musician Zohar Fresco has made it his life’s work to reintroduce one of Israel’s most ancient instruments to its modern people. “I play the Tof Miriam (Miriam’s drum). It’s a frame drum that is very ancient, and belongs to Jewish and Israeli culture,” Fresco said. “What I’m trying to do, my life project, is to bring the drum back to Israeli culture.”

Daouli (Greek: νταούλι), literally meaning "drum" found here: https://wiki.musicbrainz.org/Credit_Translations/Greek According to wikipedia: [10] the greek davul (daouli) might constitute a separate instrument (as do other local types of davul in the Balkans) because of differences in structure. Here I´m not really shure what that means

Doli (Georgian: დოლი doli) in these youtube vids you can see, that this instrument is played by hands only on one side. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w6-2Na-ZNY8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Ytv2Q7mXjM

Ok. The other names you name in your articel seems ok to me. I found nothing about the syrian davola or dafola in the net, but a syrian friend of mine gave me a picture and it looks really like a davul like instrument.
