u may need a bigger dholak to control some cuts.

[DavidVeltri]

that was juss a dholak i bought for fun, my real dholak is bigger

[thatoneguycom]

how do u chaap on a dholak help!!!!1

[DavidVeltri]

u hit the dholak wit the side of ur hand n u should hear a choppin sound

[thatoneguycom]

how exactly r u supposed to curve it

[DavidVeltri]

put all ur fingers together, but not the thumb n hit the dholak wit the side of ur palm

[thatoneguycom]

thanks ive kind of got it well i guess its one of those things that u have to practice.

[DavidVeltri]

np. it takes a good while to perfect the moves. buh i started playing tabla, so i juss put them on the dholak with different variations.

[thatoneguycom]

yeah i started playing tabla but as soon as i saw baithak gana and taan dholak i had a sudden urge to learn. at first it hard to get used to the dholak and im still learning tabla i want to finish it then learn some nice dholak.

[DavidVeltri]

well, to me, dholak n tabla are the same, juss the hand n finger positioning. but i play taan style, chutney, bhajan and chowtaal style

[thatoneguycom]

i want to learn baithak gana taan and chowtaal

[DavidVeltri]

nice nice. it takes time n a lot of patience

[mindyuhneck1986]

whip it with the side of your hand... hit easy but hard and pull away at the right time... you'll get it

[thatoneguycom]

yeah im getting it
