Keep up the good work. Your passion of playing dhol shines through your teaching. Question: I am still new to learning the basic bols. Can you point me into the right direction on where I can practice those?

[@ManvirHothi]

Damn there needs to be more Bhangra Content on KZbin. I've been Browsing KZbin for a while because I want Inspiration for my Music. But there are barely any Bhangra representations online. Thank you for your Content.

[@ManvirHothi]

Thanks Doli! Trying to do what I can and hoping to put out more content moving forward :)

[@funnight465]

Hi Manvir I like your lessons and learnt a lot from your lessons. I live in USA and ordered 2 dhols but does not sound good at all and I am afraid tightening too much would break the dhol. Can you make a dhol lesson on how to choose/select and best place to buy a dhol please. Thank you in advance

[@kanayapunjabi7976]

Nice dear.. ❤🌹

[@DevenKhanna-sm5mq]

1:49 Hi. Quick question. Are these subdivisions played straight or relatively swung? Or does it change depending on the music? Thank you!

[@moretech499]

Thanks sir

[@rsidhu559]

Do you also give lessons in person ?

[@pankajbiwal6843]

Thoda that you played was it Dha Na Dha Na Dha gena or Dha Na Dha gena?

[@markds2]

Hi Manvir, which are the best breaks to use when playing this rhythm? I see you've a couple of a breaks in the recap between the 3 variations. PS thanks to you I've mastered all the chaal variations. Thanks so much!

[@manvirsingh1991]

I think its dha dhin dha na dha ge na dha. i got that by playing the video at slower speed. I could be wrong too.

[@moretech499]

Thanks

[@jazzyjaz053]

Could you please do a video on some simple dhol rolls. I am having a bit of trouble learning them. Thank you.

[@rajveerjolly7933]

Hey Manveer ! Thanks for the video , super helpful. So I am just a beginner and even with the first one , I was struggling to catch with the speed. Is the speed to getting it to sounds as fast as yours something from practice or any beginner should be able to get that fast ? Because I am currently too slow even for the first variation. My dagga hand isn't quick enough lol

[@ManvirHothi]

Hey Rajveer, no problem! Glad the videos are helping. With regards to increasing speed, it comes down to wrist/finger technique - it's something that I've been studying over the last couple months. There are certain motions that you need to practice which will ultimately improve your speed and clarity. I've come up with 20 exercises/rudiments that help in improving your stick control. I'm posting these to Patreon as I complete the videos but once all 20 are done, I'll make them public. As a first look, here are the first three exercises/rudiments: Exercise 1: Working with 'Na' kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y6CXo6qMrM-brKM Exercise 2: Working with 'Ge' kzbin.info/www/bejne/pKWvc2WBlpmnqsk Exercise 3: Single Stroke Roll kzbin.info/www/bejne/embOgat9nc6Ghtk To get a first look at these, you're welcome to join the community on Patreon: www.patreon.com/manvirhothi

[@DjPrerak]

Hi Manvir, I have recently started learning Dhol by just watching your videos, they have been super helpful, now I can play couple of chaal beats I am just wondering what is the bracket sign means here "DHA () NANA GEGE NA" Please guide

[@ManvirHothi]

Hey Dj Perak, thanks for the comment! The brackets in this video represents a slight pause. So the rhythm will go - dha (pause) nana gege na. Keep in mind, when playing the two "gege's" the first one is a ghost note and the emphasis lies on the second 'ge'. To help explain this better, watch the video I posted on Motions & Stick Control, along with the recent video on Dynamics & Articulation. Hope that helps!

[@DjPrerak]

[@ManjitSingh-eo1nl]

Hey bro, what age did you start learning the dhol?

[@ManvirHothi]

I started when I was 16 ...29 now, so been playing for 13 years on/off

[@DhrumilPatel]

What is the best place to find dhol? I wanna buy one.

[@ManvirHothi]

Your best bet is probably India - Kukki or Goldy ...you can find both on Facebook. They're reliable and can ship right to your house

[@hockeychamp9728]

Great video. But I am having difficulty with variation 3 because he began going too fast. Can anyone help me with an alternative source?

[@ShifarAbdoelaziz]

Hey Bhai, first of all thanks for the vids! I'm completely new to Dhol and your videos are helping me a lot... Q: I frequently miss strikes on tilli site (Hit on the upper rim). Is this normal for beginners or is there something systematically wrong with my striking technique? Furthermore, it would really be nice if you make a Vid and explain how the Dhol should be worn when using a strap instead of a stand. Thanks!

[@ManvirHothi]

Hey Shifar, hope all is well! Thank you for the comment, I'm glad that the videos are helping out. I think your striking is fairly normal since your just starting out, just practice playing lower and eventually it'll become a habit. With regards to wearing a dhol, check out the "Community" section on my channel. I've posted a picture on a couple ways that you can hold the dhol. I can't make a video on just that, but I've been planning on making a video that encompasses the fundamentals of dhol ...hoping to get to that soon!

[@ShifarAbdoelaziz]

@@ManvirHothi Great, thanks a lot! 👍

[@satnamsinghsingh3983]

Ssa vir G tirkit ko fast karna ka tarika daso

[@ShifarAbdoelaziz]

Hey bro, quick question: When playing variation 3 fast, 1 "ghe" gets eliminated also right? So it becomes: Dha na na ghena | na ghe na ghe na. Or am I seeing it wrong? 🤔

[@ManvirHothi]

Hey Shifar, thanks for the comment brother. You're not wrong, but at the same time, the Ge/Ghe does not get eliminated. Basically what is happening, as you get faster, the first Ghe is played lighter than then following Ghe. I'm going to start dubbing these as "ghost notes" or "ghost bols". When you play two bass strikes back to back, play the first one lightly and then the next one at normal velocity. Hope that helps... I recently started taking drum lessons and they've been helping me understand dynamics/accenting more than I understood before. I'm hoping to incorporate some of these lessons in future dhol videos

[@ShifarAbdoelaziz]

@@ManvirHothi I've studied Western music a little bit for 2 years and I completely understand what you mean with that. Thanks for the reply, I'll try to practice it that way then.

Are you a very good teacher?

Way too big of a jump from Lesson 1 to 2! Great teacher but, like just some feedback

[@ManvirHothi]

Hey Sarah, Thank you for the feedback! When I initially made these videos, they were meant to be standalone ...in essence, you don't need to watch the first to move on to the next. I'm now trying to build off each video so it's easier for everyone to follow along and grow at the same pace. Again, I appreciate the feedback and hopefully the videos improve moving forward :) Manvir

[@SarahSinghIVIVI]

Wow! Thanks so much for replying and the clarification, it’s an honor. I was practicing and I thought it was important to note. Keep doing what you’re doing I’m a big fan!
