[zaheerkk82]

yes not only sarangi, rabab, alghoza and tumbi :) Shenai is also played with Dhol specially in weddings in west punjab.

[fojihq]

faaaaaaaaaak , its tru wot they say about Dhol, Easy to learn But hard to Master.

franciscan2007, You Filthy racist yankee toerag.

[ViolentRyo]

Zabardast performance by everyone in that video.

[BHAJNAamli]

Wonderfull. Doesnt get any more traditional than this. 

For hultonclint, mate you've got no idea so stop posting stupid comments. You sound like the typical daler mehndi or englandi who when plays two basic dhol taals starts calling himself a dholi.

This my friend is the real deal. Keep it up.

!!!!!!!!LONG LIVE THE DHOL!!!!!!!

[khansaahib]

just good dhol man!

[hultonclint]

The dholis are skilled.....but maybe TOO skilled. This isn't real "dhol playing" -- it is playing tabla style on the dhol, not the dhol tradition.

Don't get me wrong -- they play dhol very beautifully, excellent....we should recognize however that while this may be great nonetheless it is not the "traditional Punjabi culture" in the usual sense. This is a new style (a few decades old) which may be becoming a new tradition in Pakistan.

[jhelumee]

u might be right, but it was never new in Pakistan...they hav been always like this...(as far as i hav listened).....

[ktpunjab]

just sharing my thought and experiences with dhol ... when i was kid, we used to listen to dhol and mostly there were only a few tunes they used to play, two fast ones, and a couple of slow ones. there was ceratin tune for dancing bhangra in fast rhythm. I memorized those tunes as a kid and cannot forget the feeling listening to a dhol being played early morning somewhere far but the tune fills the whole atmosphere.

[ktpunjab]

I agree that this style is comparatively new and especially the organzed playing is new. The one we used to listen to in our childhood was not so organized, that was raw dhol

[jhelumee]

well, depends on wt you r play with....if it's a dhol solo than they try to make ppl dance and stuff so they play bhangra/luddi beats but if there is shehnai or um other instrument, they try to put as much rolls and their skills into it...and dude, i'm talkin abt like 10-15 years back from today...

[hultonclint]

whoah, 10-15 years ago? That was a LONG time ago!!! ;)

Since the 1980s at least, all Punjabi music has drastically changed. Traditionally, dhol was not an instrument to be played "on stage" for something you'd sit and listen to. It was for functional stuff like dance, at a mazaar, religious processions, wrestling matches, etc. The simple yet function-SPECIFIC rhythms were played, not fancy licks!

[nasiwise]

WOW!

A truly thrilling blast of energy and passion hits you when the dholis move into full tempo.

The rhythm pattern, dhol pitch and playing style are just like I have always heard them in performances at Punjabi celebratory and other occasions, hultonclint, as far as I am concerned, this is real and authentic dhol playing.

If this style of dhol playing doesn't fall into traditional Punjabi culture, surely there is something wrong with the yardstick used by cultural gurus and pundits.

[hultonclint]

Hi, nasi

As you can see from my comment, I do love this dhol playing. My comment is purely of a historical nature.

If you have grown up in Pakistan in the last couple decades, then of course will will have "always" heard this. This is a style that became popular in Pakistani Punjab in the last few decades. I have been doing research with dholis for almost a decade and I have met dholis in every district of Indian Punjab and also in some places of Pak (Lahore, Jhelum, Islamabad)... cont. below>

[hultonclint]

This is NOT the style of dhol from pre-Partition. The style of playing is particular to a certain trend in Pak. from more recently. Even the way of holding the dhol, and the sticks have new aspects to them. The effort is to create more of a "classical" performance, which is based on tabla playing.

I'm mostly writing this so people who see it understand what they are watching. Traditions change, decade by decade. This is great, but let us not assume (as most people will) that it is very old! :)

[nasiwise]

I certainly didn't imply that you don't love dhole playing :)

Are you saying that this style is part of the Punjabi culture in Pakistan but not yet old enough to be regarded as traditional?

[hultonclint]

:) yes, I know, but other people who read sometimes don't read very carefully! it's for them!

All I am saying is in recent decades (you can define "traditional" however you want), Pakistani dholis in the cities have shifted to this way of playing. The music is traditional (on tabla), but its application to the dhol is something relatively new. People have begun to regard dhol as something artistic, entertainment, where before it was simple and functional. best, Gibb

[nasiwise]

Can you possibly explain the difference between traditional and this style through rhythm patterns (dhol beats?) or some other specific measure? Is your research work available, like on some website? It will be interesting to know more about it, if it is not too technical.

[hultonclint]

Yes, it's a bit technical, and too hard to explain the differences here, point by point. Basically, its different rhythms that are used, and those rhythms match the occasion. The "folk" style is more basic, without ornamentation, since it's important to hear the pattern clearly + no one is listening for "art." The new Pak. dholis use a very stiff, thick stick to get that hard, rapping sound, whereas the trad. "chhati" is a flexy piece of cane. I have an OLD site, search for "gibb dhol" on Google
