We got rhythm! Meet the world's largest Dhol drum – and the drummers who dwell within it…

A vast drum opens up to reveal a team of Dhol drummers in this irresistible piece of musical magic.

What's in the Dhol Drum? More drummers – accompanied by dancers, flags and pyrotechnic special effects. Produced by Walk the Plank from an original idea by Ajay Chhabra, this spectacular processional show celebrates the joy and energy of Punjabi culture.

Dhol on a Roll is suitable for any major parade, festival or mela, with fantastic fireworks and stage pyrotechnics designed to suit your site. To give just one example, we presented a nighttime version for an audience of thousands in East London's Victoria Park, with a soundtrack featuring Kuljit Bhamra's bhangra remixes and live drumming.

‘Couldn’t fault the show – it was fabulous! Very pleased with how it went down and the crowds loved it.’
