Dhum is the same as Dhi, it is played like tun only you keep all 4 fingers together striking the shiyai (gab). It is a resonant note. Baya is usually played in most compositions I have seen. It does come from the Pakawaj so it is usually seen in Parans.
(not to be confused with doom which is played on the keyboard, mouse or joystik)
