Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about hiring dhol players

Most weddings use 2 dhol players, which provides a strong balance of sound and visual impact. For larger venues or grand celebrations, 3-5 players create an immersive experience. A solo dhol player works well for intimate ceremonies or as an addition to the baraat procession.

Imperial Drummers provides professional dhol players across every major city in the UK, including London, Birmingham, Manchester, Leicester, Leeds, and over 100 other locations nationwide. We also travel internationally to 30+ countries for destination weddings and events.

We recommend booking at least 3-6 months in advance, especially during peak wedding season (April-September). Popular dates fill up quickly, so early enquiry is best to secure your preferred date. For international events, 6+ months advance booking allows time for travel arrangements and coordination.

Dhol players perform at a wide range of events including Asian weddings (baraat, milni, reception), corporate events (product launches, Diwali celebrations, awards ceremonies), cultural festivals (melas, Vaisakhi parades, Navratri), and media productions (music videos, film, TV, radio).

Yes, Imperial Drummers manages all international travel arrangements including flights, equipment transportation, customs clearance, and local logistics. We have performed in over 30 countries across Europe, North America, Asia, the Middle East, and beyond.

Our packages include professional dhol players, authentic traditional or luxury costumes, premium dhol instruments, sound equipment if required, full coordination with your venue and event planners, and flexible performance durations. We tailor every booking to your specific event requirements.

Yes, our dhol players regularly perform alongside DJs, live bands, and MCs. Our drummers are experienced in reading the flow of an event and coordinating with other entertainment to create a seamless, high-energy experience throughout your celebration.
