I was delighted to get together with Kalani to share about this amazing and endlessly fascinating instrument and subject. With the primary intention to introduce, and share a little something about tabla with the World Drum Club. In doing so, hopefully dispel any misconception, intimidation, or barriers about wanting to check it out and learn more about tabla. As a percussionist, like most of us, I'm just a humble perpetual lover and student of music...learning and trying, and sharing along the way. I have been incredibly fortunate to study this instrument with the most gracious and generous of teachers, PadmaShri Pandit Swapan Chaudhuri, who believes passionately in sharing this amazing subject of tabla with anyone who wants to learn, and believes firmly that music (all music) is for everyone. To be able to pay that forward or back, an ocean or an eyedroppers worth, in whatever way I can (in my own way) is an honor and privilege to do so. humbly yours,

thank you so very much. I'm just a student of tabla, but I do love it so...and I know full well it is for ANYONE and EVERYONE that wants to learn...Music is not elite or exclusive, it IS for everyone. If I know even only one thing about music from ALL of my teachers, that would be IT. Indian Classical Music (and India itself) has given me sooooo much in my lifetime. it was an honor for me to talk about this subject with the hope of others not being intimidated to also try and learn too. If I can do it...anyone who wants to learn can also do it. thank you again for your kind message. all my best,

@mishterpreshident 4 года назад

I've been following the same learning process for congas and bongos (I've not yet played a tabla, and look forward to it). If you map out the different sound combos you can get from different parts of the head & different striking methods, then you can infuse even the simplest rhythms with interesting tonal variations.

I hope. Yes definitely, I have been to India many times. it is my wife and my favorite place to visit , we go about every other year, and absolutely love India. ...and yes I also have been to Bangalore too. my first trip to Bangalore was in 1997.

You should also do something about the Mridangam. It also works on a similar principle and is used intensely in south India

I have studied South Indian percussion and related repertoire and tala concepts, but not actually mridangam. I studied for many years with mridangist Poovalur Sriji, but studying solkattu, kanjira, and applications of South Indian Tala to other drums and percussion instruments. I don't play mridangam at all though. However, I love that drum and have deep respect for it and for Carnatic music in general. I also love visiting there, and I love South Indian food too!!!! :))

@LeftCoast_TomP 4 года назад

What a great job of communicating the basic concepts. It would be fun to try a tabla but they are surprisingly expensive new and the used ones I have seen are quite old and typically have multiple issues. Hard to get around the intimidation factor that Indian music is very formal and rigid not to mention complex. Stoned hippy improv with indian instruments has always struck me as sort of sacreligious - although Randy Gloss is saying it is ok to fool around on one here.

@hatebreeder999 4 года назад

Here in india Tablas are very cheap

@randygloss7295 4 года назад

definitely not sacrilegious. I personally believe you should learn the tradition, repertoire, history of the instruments you study and play. if the foundation is strong, you can build to great heights. however, at some point you have to speak music in your own way...being true to who you are, your influences, ideas, perspective...it is definitely okay to embrace these things and be honest in our approach. This is something in varying ways that ALL of my teachers and mentors have instilled in me: PadmaShri Pandit Swapan Chaudhuri, John Bergamo, Poovalur Sriji, Guello, Carlos Stasi, Houman Pourmehdi, Dan Kennedy, Alfred Ladzekpo, Adam Rudolph and more have all taught, mentored and guided me in such a way as being endlessly giving with information but have also steered me to tap into 'who am I" as a musician in the process of learning...helping me to no end in finding my voice as a musician. Not to solely mimic, but to comprehend musical languages, to be able to express in my own way. So In that way, I surely encourage people to experiment, explore, create, have fun!!!!!! after all, who should have an issue with anyone sincerely and honestly expressing themselves through music or any artistic medium? all my best,

@suryagurung7793 4 года назад

they're are not at all expensive. in fact you can get some on them for below 100 dollars to start with. consider looking into things a little more before making weird comments that everyone can see

@PlanoFSXer 4 года назад

Of all the Indian instruments, tabla ranks 2nd among my favorite. The first? Bansuri. Tabalchis know that mastering this instrument is not child's play. There's a rigor involved in learning and practicing this instrument. I've been fortunate to play music with professional and amateur tabalchis while in college and church -- mostly in Mumbai. I could easily spend an afternoon listening to my friend, Saurab, playing the tabla while he was doing his riaz. Honestly, I tried, but this is not for the casual let-me-give-it-a-try kind of person. You have to know you want to, and you have to be know for sure that you really want to.

@someswarmukherjee8850 4 года назад

Correct. Same goes for me as well. I think that is the quality of leather used in tabla.

@AndreaPesce 4 года назад

It's depend by leather quality and strings. Each leathers are designed for a best note to resonance. You must pull the string very strong, then insert the pieces of wood to keep up the correct strings to keep the right note. Then with the hammer, you must accord each point of the leather corona. Keep attention where you hit. My tun or ta is very resonance and it keeps some seconds to the silence. A good tabla and a good teacher can teach you to make it.

@adriansmith6124 4 года назад

@@TaalPanchamSawari It's sort of the same point regardless, I was really using hyperbole. None-the-less the tabla seem to have multiple uncertain origins and theories, according to wikipedia. One is when the Muslims invaded India in 15th 16th centuryish, as you say, which simply says they brought it over. How long did they have it prior? It wasn't mentioned. Other observations note mention of it in Vedic texts of Ancient India possibly making it ever older than 5000 years. It also depends of exactly what a tabla is regards shape, size and materials. It didn't magically appear, it evolved a development and iteration of previous drums. At what point did a tabla become a tabla? And did a tabla exist prior with other names?

Hey Randy, if u dont mind me sharimg... The black Spot strokes, are pronounced, "Tay- T". The "Tay" word comes 1st. Cos as ur saying right now... me n my buddies just finished laughing for a good 15 odd minutes.... cos the young little boy's eyes popped up when he heard u saying "T-Tay", n we all cought it. U cannot hide it from the Indians. "T-Tay" means Balls... Bollocks. N in a crude funny way.... So we're specifically thought to say "Tay-T". Whether u start at the 'fore' finger or with the 3 Fingers, its STILL pronounced "Tay-T". Still, thank you for that LAUGHTER. Phew.... Anyway.... Pranam to Pt ji Swapan Ji... Thank you Randy... Cheers....

@randygloss7295 4 года назад

As you know there many many languages in India and several gharanas of tabla playing. I’ve been a devout student of the greatest exponant of Lucknow gharana, Padmashri Pandit Swapan Chaudhuri for the past 25 years. In that time I have amassed the single largest archive of his teachings. I have countless audio and video recordings of him teaching and reciting, and can assure you that in this gharana and with MY teacher, my understanding of the bols is more than fine...enough that he trusts me to work with his students in his absence. So I appreciate the message in some way, and good to know I was good for a laugh, but likewise I find your message also and maybe equally a bit comical too.

@randygloss7295 4 года назад

What I find particularly “funny” is the need to publicly ridicule anyone in this manner. The irony is made even more profound when you consider that I likely have more knowledge and information on “your”subject, emassed through 25 years of diligent study with a true MASTER. I would think it’d be better to be supportive and encourage people interested in “your” subject rather than ridicule and discourage. But what would I know anyway??? If you give me your name I’d be delighted to give Swapanda your pranam, along with your wonderful message!!!! Cheers,
