The SwarShala Indian music software includes Dimdi and over 100 other perfectly sampled virtual Indian instruments.
Dimdi is a hand-sized instrument that fits comfortably in your hand. They have a one-of-a-kind structure. One side of it is covered, while the other is left uncovered. They have circular frames with a 7-8 inches diameter and a depth of 2-4 inches deep. It is very similar to Kanjeera.
Musician beats the drum with one hand, while the other applies pressure to the skin to create very interesting tone modulations. The Dimdi is a solo instrument in Indian music, but it can also be used to accompany other instruments.
Today, Dimdi is frequently heard at folk festivals. It was performed at the "Shilpgram Utsav-2015" National Festival of Folk Arts and Crafts.
