  • electic sitar is surely a waste!!!!!!! it is neither sweet to hear nor graceful;

    this guy is killing my music

  • guys one easy thing.....a presentable new presenation of an existing instrument can only come out of rigorous parctice and understanding he has it and we can see it i will also i personaly didnt like this idea b coz theoriginality that a acoustic sitar can bring in an electric it makes it easier to acieve those fractions and notes that is not possible in acoustic sitar..............

  • listen, fuckface... i'v learnt classical for 14 years and still do till date, my family has been in classical music for 7 generations, so when i say niladri kumar is the coolest thing on youtube, you fuckin acknowledge my comment... so if you have the appreciation level of a flaccid dick, go comment on porn sites... not on legendary videos... period.

  • there is a lot of point. Niladri kumar is one of the most respected sitar players on the earth. The fact he can play both modern fusion like this and still be a classical master shows his versatility. Just because you may not like this, doesnt make it shit. Just try to appreciate his skill rather than making judgements - i am sure you are not as good as him.

  • niladri was never a respected sitar player...he was always famous for his monkey gimmicks...being famous n being respected r two different things...shahid pervez,vilayat khan,ravi shankar,arvind parikh,etc were always respected sitar players as well as respected musicians...n they DESERVE...

  • yo ureally think so. So why do you think Ustaad Zakir Hussain respects him so much as to include him in his Masters of Percussion tour for years. Having seen Niladri live and being a musician myself i can tell you he does not just play gimmicks. I guess you are gonna tell me Zakir Ji isnt respected aswell eh?

  • zakir is one the most respected n talented musician...n yeh he will include him in masters of percussion...why not...but obvious...coz its more about the percussions...he will definately need somebody who is JUST competing with the speed n attack of the percussions....NOTHING MORE...as we can call him a LEHERA MACHINE...lol!!!! niladri can be a good LEHERA MACHINE anytime...no doubt at all...

  • im not sure you have any right to criticise niladri. Zakir would never chose someone who he didnt feel who had genuine talent. I have seen nildari twice, and both times he blew away the audience not only with his speed but his amazing classical performance aswell. Just out of intrest do you play music at all?

  • @jeevs94 zakir is a smart guy...he wont choose niladri for just any shows...he knows wht he is doing...he knows actually wht he wants to project...n he does it beautifully...n niladri is the only guy who has an audience who doesnt understand music...an audience who scream n whistle...such audience is never seen in any of the indian classical concerts...even for zakir...people clap for zakirs speed...i really hope one day people will actually clap for his mathematics!!!!

  • well what they both posses is not just speed and mathematics. anyone if they practised long enough could produce complex rhythms and immense speed. However the musicality of what they both play only comes with true talent, which is the beauty of indian music. Something you will understand if you have been playing music for a while. I admit there are many people who are not learned in the musical field. But zakri ji regards niladri so highly, and has played with him in classical concerts aswell.

  • @jeevs94 zakir will regard niladri...zakir even have the highest regard for the watchman of shanmukhananda hall...thts not a big deal...niladri always have audience who whistle n scream in his concert...i mean tht cheap audience...coz he is a cheap gimmickry...it can be clearly seen tht he REGRETS being a sitar player...coz otherwise he would have never come up with something as stupid as a zitar which completely resembles the sound of an electric guitar...

  • @jeevs94 n niladri tries his worst to copy the great guitarist yngwie malmsteens lines as well as style of playing...he is clearly copying all the accents of an electric guitar...above all he sounds so cheap and disgusting when he is playing something like the top gun theme on his zitar...if u still appreciate this thing then i really have to admit there are many people who are not learned in the musical field...

  • @flamencog hey FUCK you buddy... this guy is one of the most respected sitar players... and pretty revolutionary at that too.

  • Jimi Hendrix meets Ravi Shankar - all I can say is "vow!"

  • he is awesome................. INCREDIBLE!

  • What track is he playing ?

  • Niladri is the man, the master, the music guru...keep rocking niladri

  • by the way, sivamani's Mahaleela owns!!!

  • zitar.. a 5-stringed sitar/electric guitar hybrid self-customed by niladri kumar himself. currently he's the only zitar player worldwide.

  • who is the guy on sitar??

  • Niladri Kumar ;-) he rocks~ and it's actually a zitar, which is like a sitar/electric guitar hybrid. Anyone know anything more about this instrument?

  • Niladri is the man!!

  • This is INCREDIBLE!

  • awesome friggin work!!!

    man,these guyz pull my guts out!!!

    keep up the good work!!!

    cheers...
