Online Tabla
Strike the drums to play the bols — the bāyāñ for bass, the dāyāñ for the ringing treble. Everything is synthesized live in your browser.
Dāyāñ: rim = Na J · middle = Tin K · centre = Tun L
Bāyāñ: centre = Ghe S · edge = Ke A
Tap the drums and pads, or play with your keyboard. Turn the dāyāñ tuning to match your key.
Press Space to start or stop the taal. Each cycle loops; the × is the sam (beat 1), ○ is the khali.
Free online tabla you can play in your browser
The Ajenza Online Tabla is a free virtual tabla that plays entirely in your web browser — no app, no sign-up and no downloads. Every stroke is synthesized live with the Web Audio API. The pair has two drums: the bāyāñ (the larger bass drum, played with the left hand) and the dāyāñ (the smaller, tuned treble drum, played with the right hand). Strike different zones of each drum to sound the classic bols — Na, Tin and Tun on the dāyāñ, Ghe and Ke on the bāyāñ — and use the pads for compound bols like Dha, Dhin and Dhit that combine both hands. Tune the dāyāñ to the Sa of your piece and play by mouse, touch or computer keyboard.
Is the online tabla free?

Which bols can I play?
Single strokes Na, Tin, Tun (dāyāñ) and Ghe, Ke (bāyāñ), plus compound bols Dha, Dhin, Dhit, Ta, Te, Tak, Kat and a quick TiRaKiTa on the pads.
Can I tune the tabla?
Yes. The tuning slider sets the pitch (Sa) of the dāyāñ from C4 up to C5, like tuning a real tabla to the key of a piece.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes. The drums and pads are responsive, so you can tap them on any phone or tablet.
Do I need to install anything?
No. Sound is generated in the browser with the Web Audio API — nothing to install and no permissions required.
