Hi fellow members, hope you are all well. I am glad i have come across this forum. It will be a great place to gain some knowledge. I am beginner dhol player, i can only play Chaal and extended chaal. I have the following song, i would like to create a routine. Not sure how to really do it or go about it.

learn properly first. sorry to be so blunt but nothing pisses me off more than a dholi that can`t play properly and is doing gigs.

Please dont take this the wrong way, i wish you the best of luck with your future dhol career but any real and respectable dholi will tell you that if you need to ask for a dhol routine.... you have a long way to go before you can even think about performing for anyone besides family. I don't care if you're the second coming of Jesus on the damn drum. If you can't figure out that every dholi has their own unique routine that is CONSTANTLY changing as they are learning more and more by the day..... you are, and will always be a beginner. Learn and PERFECT every beat, roll, tirikit, etc. and then worry about how to put them together. Right now you know chaal and extended chaal.... which is basically just chaal, they're just variations of each other. Theres not much of a routine you can make with that besides: start with lambi chaal than transition into normal chaal and then go back into lambi chaal. If you're feeling crazy and adventurous throw a roll or a break in there.


Perfect these and by the time you have, you'll be able to make routines up on the spot.
