A dohol ({{langx|fa|دهل}}) 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. Do-Chapi almost always includes Sorna and Dohol.{{Cite web |title=دوچاپی آیینی ماندگار در سیستان و بلوچستان |url=https://www.irna.ir/news/83000961/%D8%AF%D9%88%DA%86%D8%A7%D9%BE%DB%8C-%D8%A2%DB%8C%DB%8C%D9%86%DB%8C-%D9%85%D8%A7%D9%86%D8%AF%DA%AF%D8%A7%D8%B1-%D8%AF%D8%B1-%D8%B3%DB%8C%D8%B3%D8%AA%D8%A7%D9%86-%D9%88-%D8%A8%D9%84%D9%88%DA%86%D8%B3%D8%AA%D8%A7%D9%86|access-date=22 December 2023 |website= |date=14 August 2018 |language=fa-IR}}{{Cite web|url=https://dailytimes.com.pk/366502/the-infectious-baloch-dance/|title=The infectious Baloch dance|date=17 March 2019 |access-date=2023-12-22|archive-date=2022-03-21|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220321144228/https://dailytimes.com.pk/366502/the-infectious-baloch-dance/|url-status=bot: unknown}}
