Ministry of Dhol | Paragon
A collaboration dating back to the late 80’s.
Not just noise! It’s timing, discipline, and serious energy 🥁
Ministry of Dhol isn’t about “just giving it a go”………..it’s where you learn the fundamentals of Dhol, learn how to play professionally and become part of a Big Family.
From your first grip, to performing with confidence, it’s all here.
No one else teaches Dhol the way we do — 33 years in the game says everything.
If you’ve been thinking about it, this is your sign.
It’s not what you play, it’s how you play it!

Our students really are special, in fact - they’re AMAZING!

Jay and Daya Bains showcasing the Dhol at their Community Diwali event whilst sharing the same stage with our respected Tabla Maestro Brother Sanju Bhai
Jay and Daya haven’t been with us for long but their passion for the Dhol and their love for the team has allowed them to fuel their confidence and perform to a full audience.
We’re proud to say that the MOD hasn’t just bought strangers closer to each other, but has also bought families a lot closer too.
We are extremely proud of Jay and Daya for stepping up and representing the Ministry of Dhol and the MODeducation Project.
Happy Diwali, to all celebrating, from our family to you and yours! 🪔
Come check out our family tree!

🚨Humble request🚨
Elite drummers
Enough is enough!
Stop trying to recruit even more drummers from the Ministry of Dhol to build your army - especially the little ones.
This has been going on for a while ever since you started and l’ve stayed quiet for so long.
First you try to recruit our drummers to join your classes and then you move on to entice the more intermediate drummers with ‘if you want more gigs’.
The MOD is not all about gigs and our loyal drummers are learning for all the right reasons. They have a passion for Dhol and are enjoying their learning journey with us.
Your group was born out of the Ministry of Dhol, have a little respect for the group/person who put you in this game and showed you the ropes.
If drummers want to come to you, they will on their own accord but stop targeting our Amazing ready made drummers.
Train your own drummers from scratch just like I did with you!

HUGE Well done and Congratulations to all our Amazing Dhol playing Sevadars from the Ministry of Dhol and Team MissMOD for participating in and completing the Slough Vaisakhi Nagar Kirtan for another year running.
It was absolute honour for all of us to perform alongside each other shoulder to shoulder. Everyone did so well especially the littlest of the littlest!
Big thank you also to all the parents who helped out today and supported the entire team throughout the procession.
Lastly, thank you to / and the Sevadar Stewards for allowing us the honour of performing for another year, and finally, to you - our supporters 🫶🏽
