Celebrate in style with the Bhangra Dhol Drum! This half-size dhal drum is perfect for wedding festivities and festivals throughout India. Its unique design – larger than the traditional damaru and dholak drums but smaller than the fancy dhol drum. The Bhangra Dhol Drum is crafted from brown-painted wood and comes with two beaters. One beater is played flat against the smaller head, while the other is played with the curved side against the larger head. To top it off, vibrant attachments and a neck cord are also included. Each drum measures approximately 42 cm (17”) x 22 cm (8.5”) x 17 cm (6.5”), and weighs 2.75 kg. Bring joy to your celebrations with this fair trade product, made in India. Some of these are multicoloured and some have a solid block brown colour. 

This item is a miniature version of a traditional bhangra dhol. It is smaller than a standard dhol and produces a lighter sound. Ideal as a decorative piece or for rhythm use but not intended for performances or full-sized expectations.
