## What is Dhol?

For all the Bhangra fans around the world, you can now play the Dhol on the go on your iPhone or iPod Touch using Dhol-E.  

Dhol is a musical instrument played in the Asian subcontinent especially in the northern part of India in Punjab. Playing the Dhol on Dhol-E is as simple as tapping on the screen using your fingers. Other features of Dhol-E include 3 sounds (one for each side of the Dhol and one for tapping on the Dhol barrel itself) and the ability to play the Dhol to a song in your iPod collection.

For optimal sound quality use headsets or for even better results connect to powered external speakers. 

Let Dhol-E bring out the real Dholi inside you.

Version 2.0 adds a revolutionary new method to teach and learn the Dhol using "Dhol-E Connect". Using "Dhol-E Connect" you can connect to a another iPhone/iPod running Dhol-E over Bluetooth. Once connected you can see your friend play the Dhol on your screen and follow/play along. 

To connect using Dhol-E Connect just follow these easy steps
-Make sure both phones are running the latest version of Dhol-E 
-On both devices press the Dhol-E Connect button.
