Hi, I'm on a bhangra team in Texas and I'm interested in buying a dhol both for bhangra and for college parties/performances. I was wondering as to where and how to purchase one. While I'm going to Delhi/Amritsar/Hyderabad in a few weeks, I'm not sure whether the hassle of shipping/trying to transport the dhol would be worth it. If anyone has done this before with relative ease and has any recommendations, I'd appreciate some advice, but otherwise, I think it might be easier to just buy it online.
If I'm looking online, what might be good places to buy it from? If I'm just using it for bhangra/parties and I don't really need top-of-the-line concert quality, what would be a recommended price range/equipment specifications? I might want to do some (light) jumps/bhangra with it, so I don't want it to be too heavy. I also know of one guy in my area who is selling his for $500, but it seems a bit expensive.
Finally, I know tabla and was on drumline, so I don't think it should be too hard, but are there any resources y'all could recommend for learning? Other than various YouTube videos, I haven't found much.
