Ive been playing the drums for the past 10 years and recently picked up the dhol. To me its the same basic principle except I have a hard time breaking down the sticking for some of the dhol rythms. I know how to play the Chal but need help playing the “breaks.” Need to learn some of the breaks to play at a friends bharaat. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

im playing at a wedding in december and i dont know what to play could you tell me what to play and im only at break 2.
hello, do you know how to play the fast beat in the song desi jatt dj sarj heres the link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QW1sZX-dYw0
the beat starts at 0.16 seconds
Hi Rinay, if you are playing solo practise the chaal beats + create some variations of them. Also look at the bhangra + lehriyaan videos for further beats.
Hi Neal, the breaks video should provide some guidance with picking up breaks and thora’s when playing the dhol, have you been able to progress with the help from the videos?
hi i jus bought a dhol recently and i wana gv my niece supprise to play at her weeding could u show me basic beats to play thanks
Sadiq that’s a nice gesture. Make sure you check out all the videos on this site which may help you will picking up the beats. I would encourage you to look at the Chaal / Bhangra / Lehriyaan and Dhamal lessons.
Enjoy and goodluck with the wedding!
Hi, i really appreciate all these training videos you upload. But i was wondering, can you upload a Dhol care instruction video. like how to tune the both sides of the dhol. Also how to fix the string tension when it becomes slack. Or any other care tips. Thank You very much
Hey Anup, currently we haven’t got any of these videos set-up however it is covered within the Blueprint to Dhol Mastery which is a unique homestudy course developed by howtoplaydhol.com. This is going to be released very shortly so my advice is to jump on the VIP list http://howtoplaydhol.com/?p=184 asap to ensure you can secure your copy at the special launch price on the 16th Jan.
