Drum-believable

The Dhol Foundation

The Dhol Foundation have spent the last three years touring and recording dozens of tunes around the globe from as far apart as Ireland to Toronto. After many requests by fans 13 tracks have been hand picked by Kalsi, with the sounds of not only the traditional Dhol played by members of TDF but also instruments such as the cello, harmonium, Spanish guitar, bongos, tabla and many more.

"Drum-Believeable" explores the world of Punjabi beats, which not only means the sound of the Dhol but also a mixture of percussionists and vocalists such as Pandit Yash, Nadeem & Suhail Salamat and Sonya Pannesar. Tracks such as "Breathe" feature a combination of the Dhol and Spanish guitar while world famous fiddler Mairead Nesbitt and Irish flautist Emer Mayock challenge the tabla and Dhol to a battle of Celtic rhythms against Asian beats in the tracks "After The Rain" and "Simply H". The album brings together various writers such as Ustad Sultan Khan, Mairead Nesbitt, Mantu, Eric Jaeger and UK Bhangra artist Bee2, all hand picked by TDF founder himself, Johnny Kalsi.
