The Dhol, a double sided barrel drum, is the most sought after and used instrument in the Indian Music industry. The Dhol actually dates back to the 15th century, that's how old it really is! In was used in the Punjab region of India to keep the farmers going to work. The sound of the Dhol, if you ever hear it, is just insane! It is one of the best sounds ever in the music industry not to mention the Indian Music industry!
The sticks that strike the Dhol are made of wood - bamboo wood and cane wood. All Indian Music songs/tracks consist of the dhol as part of their music madness when assembling the track. One of the most revered Dhol Players is the Music Man himself, Sukshinder Shinda. In each of Shinda's produced tracks/songs, you can hear the unique sounds of the Dhol that Shinda plays. Truly amazing!
The dhol varies in size and is usually quite large with a strap that will strap around the shoulder.
Dholis, or dhol players are now gaining fame and is being recognized worldwide.
Keep the Dhol banging!
