The paste between the two tabla drum skins is called "maiya" or "gobar." It is typically made from a mixture of rice flour, water, and other natural ingredients to create a clay-like substance that helps to tune the drum and enhance its sound. This paste is applied to the center of the tabla's head (the bayan) and serves to adjust the tonal quality and pitch of the drum.
The paste used for making the tabla is primarily composed of a mixture of wheat flour (or rice flour) and water, often combined with a small amount of sugar or other binding agents. This mixture is kneaded to achieve a smooth, pliable consistency. Additionally, some artisans may add specific ingredients like jaggery or certain oils to enhance the paste's quality and performance. The paste is then applied to the drum's surface to create the characteristic sound of the tabla.
