DholFest

Listen for the thunderous beat as dhol drummers from around the UK gather in Birmingham for DholFest 2008.

What is a Dhol?

Dhol is a double-sided barrel drum (straight barrels also exist) played mostly as an accompanying instrument to the traditional Punjabi dance of Bhangra.

The drum is played using two wooden sticks, usually made out of bamboo and cane wood.
