In the analogy Sitar : Plucked :: Tabla : ?, which word belongs in place of the question mark?

The relation is a musical instrument : the action that draws sound from it. The strings of a sitar are plucked; the skin of a tabla is struck with the fingers and palm. 'Strummed' is the trap, since it is a near neighbour of plucking, but strumming sweeps across strings and a tabla has none. Bowing belongs to the sarangi or violin and blowing to the flute or shehnai.
