Copy for Learn screen:

Welcome to the Dhol Application Tutorial! Read below to learn how to use the

application and all the included features.

How to play:

Playing some beats is as simple as tapping the right side of the dhol to play the

treble sound, and the left side of the dhol to play the base sound. If you want to

take it to the next level, you can even tap the top, left side of the dhol to simulate

hitting the wood with the base stick for another unique sound!

Here are some basic beats to get you started:

Both-Both-T-Both-T-T-T-T

Both-B-T-B-T

Key: T = treble side (right); B = base side (left); Both = both simultaneously

Getting fancy:

Once youve mastered the basics, feel free to do just what this button says: Get

Fancy! Tapping this button will launch 3 smaller buttons above the dhol. While

youre playing some beats you can incorporate the roll sounds generated from

tapping one of these buttons. For example:

Both-Both-T-Roll1-Both-T-T-T-T

Tap the Get Fancy button again and the 3 smaller buttons will disappear so you

can get back to the basics!

Playing along live with Bikram Singh:

For a truly unique experience, try being the official dhol player for internationally

renowned bhangra singer Bikram Singh! Tapping this button will launch a selection

of vocals from some of his most popular tracks for you to play along with, so be


6/6

creative and have fun! Simply tap the button again to go back and choose another

track.

If you want some more of Bikrams original tracks, theres even a link to his iTunes

page for ya!

* In the design of the Bik screen, at the bottom add a line of copy that says Want

some more of Bikrams original tracks? reference it 3E on your

design*

Playing along with your own music:

Ever think of a song that would sound a lot better with some dhol mixed in? Well

then this feature is for you! Tap the My Music button to get to your playlist and

select any song to jam along with. Once you pick a song, you can go back into the

app to start rockin! If you want to pause, stop, or switch tracks, just tap the button

again to get back to your playlist!
