Created in collaboration with Ajay Chhabra, Nutkhut & Walk The Plank – Dhol Academy can proudly claim to have the World’s Biggest Dhol Drum! Yes, you read that right. Whether you’re running a large festival and are searching for an outdoor show, or you want a pop-up performance in the middle of a busy town/city, or even looking for a spectacular half time performance at a sports event – ‘In The Dhol Drums’ is exactly what you’re missing. Imagine a humongous drum being carted to a location (while music is being playing from speakers inside of it) and fireworks/flares shooting from up top. Now imagine this Drum stops at the final location, suddenly opens and 4 Dhol Drummers appear from inside to energise the crowd with powerful, technical drumming. This is exactly what you get with ‘In The Dhol Drums’. The performance can be scaled up or down towards your needs…it really is a showstopper!

Dhol Addiction is the collaborative project we’re working on with East London’s ADDICTIVE TV, and started as a commission by the organisers of the London Mela – the largest festival in Europe celebrating Asian culture, music and food. We were asked to close the 2019 edition with a grand finale, timed up with a huge fireworks display at the end of the show. Artistically cross-pollinated, with live guitar, percussion, electronics, rappers, Indian dance, sampled musicians on screen and plenty of dhols, the show brought a diverse and high energy ‘traditional meets 21st century mixed-media’ vibe to the finale.
