Dhol for the Screen and Studio
Imperial Drummers bring the same energy and professionalism to media productions as we do to live events. Whether you need dhol players for a music video shoot, a film scene, a TV appearance, or a studio recording session, we deliver.
We've worked with BBC Asian Network, appeared on television productions, and collaborated with artists and production companies across the UK. Our drummers understand the demands of working on set - hitting marks, repeating takes, and performing consistently under direction.
From one-off recording sessions to multi-day shoots, we provide professional dhol musicians who are comfortable in front of the camera and behind the microphone.
