Why it’s great for the classroom

Bright, bold and built to be played, this hand-painted bhangra dhol is a showstopper for group music-making. It’s small enough for younger learners but packs plenty of punch, thanks to its natural drum heads and sturdy mango wood body. With its double-ended design and distinct tonal differences, the dhol is perfect for rhythm work and introducing children to the energetic beats of bhangra music.

It’s ideal for cross-curricular teaching, tying into cultural topics as well as developing pulse, timbre, and ensemble playing. Plus, it comes fitted with traditional tuning rings and decorative tassels for added visual appeal in the classroom or performance space.

This instrument is also included in the Percussion Workshop Indian Percussion Pack, making it a key part of a ready-to-go resource for exploring Indian percussion styles.
