Specifications, that i would say would be optimal for any dhol, would have to be: Rounded kaali taali barrel with mustard oil on it, (if theres varnish or paint on it, sand it down) Oil allows the wood to breathe the best compared to varnish or paint. It smells but for like a day or two, if...

Hahahaha, It happens =]

you won't know until you take the paint off

Also, speaking from experience, sometimes when there are deformities in the wood of the drum or the drum has a crack or is made out of two different drums or something of that sort, people put masala on the cracks or deformities or dents to hide it (so it looks like a perfect cylinder ) and then...

Pretty sure thats amb, most drums that are painted, especially as heavily as that drum, are amb. Plus no one sells taali dhols for under 300

Alright, good luck with the drum homie, def sand that thing down though, it'll look much better then that redorange paint look. Also from your videos, make sure you play your beats fully instead of rushing your hands. These beats sound very stressed and you're missing some of the ge's and na's...

Re rope your dhol so it tightens towards the dhaga.... Ropeing it this way has an advantage because it gives it a more even distribution of tension. Also make sure your lugs are properly secured onto the dhol with a special bolt back. It'll be easier to tighten and won't damage your drum.

Really diggin the use of saaps near the end of the routine. Very creative. The dancer with the hat was killin it.

Google it. Theres some dope stuff out there

idk which gbc sounds the best but i use the normal gbc and it sounds beautiful and same with MRs

Depends which bamboo tillis you use, there are some out there that are actually cylindrically shaped

I'd sand it down wether its amb or even plywood, you can make any drum sound nice if you put the work into it. You take apart the entire dhol till its just the wood and you hit it with a heavy grit sand paper till all the paint/varnish is off, then work your way to a finer grit sand paper and...

All gbcs can be tuned to sound good with the right drum but i find the white gbc to sound the best

True true, yeah no matter what dhol i get or have gotten, i always sand it down. First priority haha

Idk im just not a fan of paint, even that black straight barrel that monisingh was talking about can probably sound 10x better with it sanded down. plus it just looks that much better as well lol

Are you talking about the tilli's that are round and have an odd shaped ball at the top? they are made of plastic and i used to use them a long time ago, they don't flex well like normal tilli's should because they are a little too flexible but they sure are loud as hell. And as far as i can...

From my experiences and personal choice, i would have to say, hands down, desi heads sound the nicest. They have a crisp warm feeling that remos can't even touch. Im not going to lie, when im playing for dance floors or baraats with music, hands down remo is better (depending on what desi head...

whats your budget? Whenever you buy a dhol online you run the risk of damages or even being ripped off.... Where ever you get yours from, i'd suggest seeing it, testing it, inspecting it before you buy it

Re: Tirkit help for dhol?!?!! Do what makes you happy and what you think sounds good <3
