The Tabla drum set has become the staple percussion diet of the Indian music scene. Although today it has found a permanent home in the classical music tradition of North India, it has also been the rhythm instrument of choice in folk and film music of India. Learning the proper technique of the Tabla is very important for a healthy long term experience. An improperly placed hand can lead to poor habits and deterioration in the abilities of the student. Here's what a couple of users had to say about this video:
