Dhol routines Help!

[ADholiCalledAli]

Does anybody know a good dhol routine which will impress people but a beginner/intermediate dholi can play? I'm 14, I can play chaal and variations, Bhangra, a few rolls, ok at slow simple tirkits, ghir ghira, click beats, mirza, jhummer etc... So if you know any routines.. List them please!
Thanks

You will never impress anyone with a routine someone else gives you. Theres something about making your own routine that shows when you play it. Think hard and try impressing yourself with the routine you create and perfect, everyone else will appreciate it no matter what.

Ok thanks man, the thing is I can't play anything which is complex e.g a laggi or long tirkit

Then you already know what you need to do, practice. You can't go trying to impress someone with your skills if you haven't spent time trying to refine them? you might impress a few family members and some people that know nothing about the instrument but you'll never get respect from people who have been doing this for years. Thats what im doing, i need to get better as well so theres only one thing to do. Practice. You have your own unique style. Show it. lol

True, true. I'll teach myself then more often... Are you self taught btw?

 

[Dholi harsh]

Sounds good man and yessir i am, i taught myself in my basement haha

 

[ADholiCalledAli]

Haha nice, I've seen your videos on YouTube.. You're sick!!

 

[Dholi harsh]

Oh you have? nice nice, and nah im really not, especially in those videos, i mess up alot but im too lazy to do a second take, each video is one shot done haha. i just do those as something to do when im bored, i should really start making legit videos haha. But seriously homie just do you and your set will come out sick =]

 

[ADholiCalledAli]

Haha yeah! Nah man you're wicked! Oh really I didn't even recognise loool. Thanks man! And just a request for one of your vids.. Can you do Manak-E - Ous Kurri? It's like one if my favourite Bhangra songs and there's no dhol cover of it! It would be sick if you would do that

 

[Dholi harsh]

Yeah hahaha listen a lil more carefully next time you'll hear the mistakes haha but as far as that manak e song goes, i absolutely love it, i actually use that as well as morni (punjabi Mc) to warm up... but it already has a dhol beat to it so i don't really mess with it haha

 

[ADholiCalledAli]

Haha your an inspiration =) yeah me too lol I listen to it like very day haha. Yeah that's a really good song.. Yeah I know what you mean, the tirkit in ous kurri is sick! Haha anyway thanks for the help man!
