A dohol () is a large cylindrical drum with two skinheads. It is generally struck on one side with a wooden stick bowed at the end, and with a large thin stick on the other side, though it is also played with the bare hands. It is the principal accompaniment for the Sorna. A similar instrument, the Dhol, is used in traditional Egyptian, Pakistani and Indian music.
In Balochistan it mostly performed by forming a circle by a group of people, dancing and clapping. Chaap almost always includes Sorna and Dohol.
dohol and Tombak play at Omani Baloch weddings in Muscat.
The dohol is largely played in Kurdistan with the zurna.
