How to Play Dhol [Complete Beginner's Guide] | Simply Dhol | Manvir Hothi (English)

[@desiman0786]

Man you have taught me all I know.. And honestly I can't thank you enough.. I'm in the UK.. and from the comfort of my bedroom I learnt and am still learning from you.. With respect my Ustad. 🙏

[@PrabhjotSingh_123]

Bro you have been my sole teacher for the past few years as i dont have anyone in my city teaching dhol. I just wanna say thanks for all the lessons, i doubt i would have come this far without your videos

[@MrSuperJaskirat]

If you haven't already, you should definitely send him a video of you playing dhol. He's a very nice dude and will show his appreciation!

[@ManvirHothi]

Thank you for the kind words Prabhjot! I'm glad that the videos are helping. I look forward to seeing and hearing you play one day 😀

[@ronaldmcdonaldidion92]

Hello mamvir. I bought a dhol 1 month ago so i can learn chaal for my sisters wedding. Your videos are the best and i was able to learn chaal and i killed it. Thank you so much.

[@AkashSharma-ly8cp]

[@kimikaur1862]

Would you know where can I buy more dhol sticks? I am located in the US (NY)

[@djem5153]

Thanks for the lesson. Im about to be the best dhol player in Canada

[@manudhaliwal7401]

Great videos my bro! Question regarding the dhol stand you use at 18:35 to prop it up. Can you let us know what type of stand that is and where we can get it from? Thank you sir!

[@jessesingh2114]

My dhol sound different then your dhol. I tuned it to. How I do it?

[@ManvirHothi]

Hey Jesse, that depends on a lot of factors. For example, what skins you're using on either side of the drum, whether or not those skins have been worked in, the quality of the wood/dhol, but most importantly, how you tuned the dhol. Each dhol is going to have its own unique sound. If you find the dhol sounding low pitched, tighten the respective side, and if you find it too high pitched or the sound "dying," chances are that you over tightened. You can use apps that are typically used to tune snare heads on the drumkit to ensure that you have a relatively consistent note across each hook. Overtime, you will develop an ear for tuning

[@jessesingh2114]

Manvir Hothi I use a black side and cream color of bass

[@RIProductions]

Manvir, I need a new Dhol. Played the heck out of mine for last ten years. It’s all busted up. I live in Seattle and we don’t really have Indian instrument shops. What do you recommend I do. Any websites or stores you recommend?

[@navtejsingh4549]

Very good

[@karanveerdhanoa8420]

Where did you buy your dhol

[@jasjohal9733]

You play great .. but some advice for vids .. play at slo pace longer and the medium pace longer so we can practice with bhols and hear the beat longer as it takes longer to catch it

[@PardeepKumar-jf2qh]

Paji plz Punjabi ch v dso plz 🙏

[@simulsingha930]

Amazing!

[@reenpeen]

The Dhol is one of the most captivating instruments ever. Been crazy about dance and music and keen to pick this up…….I’ve ordered for one from Amazon India and as there’s limited choice went in for the one with the most reviews Your video is so in depth and covers so many features about the bar measures, the various rhythms and the mention to take the practices slow. So excited to start this journey with your inputs. Am sure scores of people have benefited from your advice. Thanks again 🙌🙌

Manvir, your videos are so educational on everything dhol. Especially during these Covid 19 times. But I am stuck at the down stroke and upstroke thingy combined. How do I get it right? I cant seem to get the angle nor the sound right..

[@rahulparashar1]

Hi Manvir, I'm a huge fan. Have always aspired to learn to play dhol, and looking at your videos have fir the first time believed that it might actually be possible. Do you have any reference or tips on buying the first dhol? I'm in Cincinnati. Thanks so much

Bro can you put how to play Luddi ? Thanks for what ever you have uploaded till date. Keep it up and great uploads.

[@ManvirHothi]

Hey Vinit, luddi is just chaal. Is there something in particular that you're looking for? Do you have any videos for reference?

[@vinitsharma1402]

@@ManvirHothi what is the Luddi Chal number in your video uploads. I have been following your videos and learning through it. Best thing to happen in covid lockdown.

[@ManvirHothi]

@@vinitsharma1402 The lockdown actually gave me some time to focus on this channel again. There’s some good that came with the bad. Is this what you’re looking for? kzbin.info/www/bejne/gXyylnmiet51apo

[@vinitsharma1402]

@@ManvirHothi Luddi is a beat that is played to represent happiness that is what I have learnt watching TED talk on Dhol. Definitely not chaal 1.

[@ManvirHothi]

@@vinitsharma1402 There’s too many inaccuracies in these Tedhtalks online, I would take them with a grain of salt. Luddi is a celebratory dance and the rhythm that is played is also referred to as Luddi, presently known as Chaal. Although one can argue that Chaal is the name of the movement. Like the etymology of any word, new words are coined daily and what was formerly referred to as luddi is now Chaal. When you refer to luddi, you are referring to Chaal 1. Any deviation from this can be considered a variation
