I bought some Tabla drums in Goa and would like to be able to play them better. Anyone play or know of anywhere where I can learn locally?
taa.

neeeeeeeeeek, you could ask Mr Singh at Ellesmere road post office. He is an excellent musician in traditional asian music.

Good plan pinlock, had not thought of that.

Any luck? A guy I work with is looking for some tabla lessons. Ta

I used to have some once, but I am no good at drums, all I remember is dum and tak depending on where you hit the skin. Dum being the middle and tak being the edge, not sure if right terminology, LOL...I did manage a few interesting impromptu pieces but nothing to write home about.

Here is a useful website:

How to play the tabla (http://www.chandrakantha.com/tablasite/bsicbols.htm)

I never got round to it. Still have the Tabla tho!

Cheers for the link, I shall investigate!
