@@Quatronconsultancy thank you for your comment. I will do my best to upload in the next week for you 👍

@@Quatronconsultancy thank you 🙏 hope your own practice is going well

@@Quatronconsultancy Thank you for all the support 🙏

@@vijaychouhan3610 You could learn the patterns with something as simple as a 2 sticks or 2 spoons played against your legs but ideally you will want to upgrade to a dhol eventually so you can start to understand the technique required to produce the sound you are aiming for 🙂

@@Ratan.Randhawa thanks, planning to have 1:1 home lessons in India soon for a whole month, hopefully that would do and then will invest in a dhol, thanks for your message and insightful video.

@@Quatronconsultancy As always thank you for your support 🙏

Thank you for your kind words 🙏 Please subscribe if you want to be kept up to date with new videos 🙂

Absolutely! I am planning to do a full series on looking after your dhol in the future 🙂

@@Ratan.Randhawa amazing Thank u

No problem. I'm planning to do a full series on looking after your dhol in the future 🙂

Thank you for the support as always. I will bring a video on this in the future but simply put Dhin is as described in the video where both ke and na (closed) are struck together but with kin the ke (closed treble) is played before the na. Some Ustads may call different notes different names so it would be worth checking with your teacher whether this is what they mean

Thanks for the advice! You're right this dhol was totally out of tune. Im actually playing on a different one now but planning to fix the old one up at some point when I get time :)

Dhanwaad 🙏

Thank you for your comment. These are from Raja Music House however I don't believe they are particularly special. You can get them from almost any dhol provider. Depending on experience you might be looking for a specific shape weight or type of wood and in that case I would advise you find a store where you can physically see and try before you buy

Thanks so much! I'm still adjusting to the new dhol but I can feel the improvement happening slowly. I was trying to play a little too hard before and that was stopping me getting the sound I was aiming for

Yeah man it sounds excellent!! It’s great following your journey

(Dhin Ge Na Dhin Ge Na Dha) x 3. Have a video coming for it next week 🙂

Thank you for the comment. Its on the list but will take some time!

Thank you 🙏

I've played a lot of different things in here and none of it is planned. Just playing different things as they come into my mind. But I will make separate videos over time with all the variations and bols 🙂

Depends on your striking. Usually the bass is considered louder but actually its about what you are trying to deliver to the audience. Sometimes you want the tilli to be more prominent and the bass more subtle and sometimes the opposite. Its important to learn to play soft as well as loud. I am still working on this everyday myself 🙂

Good question. First thing is to actually try and play in a hall. Acoustics of the room make a big difference in how far sound travels. I typically don't have to play much louder than I play at home. Next is to actively practice playing loud, maybe slow down how fast you are playing a little so you can play louder. Eventually you'll find you actually want to play quieter!

What changes the volume and quality of the sound is whether the hall is empty or full of people With people I have to play louder and get tired faster as the sound is absorbed by the crowd. The dhol also sounds more muted in a crowd. One thing I learnt about playing in a crowd is energy control, you can’t let adrenaline take over otherwise your tilli hand and fingers are going to fall off. I play drums and I find dhol so much more physically demanding

@@mathursharad007 I’ve played Dhol with a huge hall with like 100+ people In it but then I saw another Dholi play once and he was playing very loud. I want to start playing loud but I don’t know what to do

Thank you for the comment. This beat is commonly called bhangra and the bols are dha - na na ge na 🙂

@@Ratan.Randhawa- thanks. Please do share all the bols used. I played this a few times on slow speed but can’t pickup 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Yes please share the bhols

​@@Ratan.Randhawathank u

It is hard for me to put all the bols in these kind of videos as I am playing lots of different variations coming into my head. But don't worry as I will eventually get to these rhythms in other videos
