Dhol drummers


On Friday 4th April, we were visited by a fantastic group of  4 young Dhol drummers who played in front of the whole school. They came from Cherry Orchard Primary School in Handsworth and were dressed in colourful costumes from India.

The drummers performed different rhythms led by Harjit Singh their teacher, who is in charge of Percussion and World Music at Birmingham Music Service. Their music was very loud and exciting and everyone had a fantastic time.

Bradley in Year 5 joined in playing with them and kept up very well despite not being as experienced as them. Other children from Years 3,4 and 5 had a chance to play a rap rhythm on the drums too.

We hope to begin a dhol drumming group at Chilcote soon.
