No words!!! Truth be told....i came across your name just now whilst I was listening to Sir Vikku Vinayakaram....and sir you blew me away with this and the fusion performance at Thanjavur. Excellent.

I do hope your group comes over to perform in Hong Kong some day.

All the very best to you.

[ghatamkarthick]

@nityasundar THANKS NITYASUNDAR. SUE IT WILL BE OUR PLEASURE. HAPPY THAT U LIKE MY EFFORTS.

[ghatamkarthick]

@pratopathak This is ADHI TALA 8 beat cycle. I live in Chennai, INDIA. Thanks. Keep smiling.

[pratopathak]

@ghatamkarthick so lovely, is there any website i can find the compisitions you are varying in the 8 beat cycle? thanks.

[virusehwag293]

Sir I'm a huge fan of yours...I've listened to countless recordings of yours and have seen you play live many times. I cherish this opportunity to communicate this to you - you are the greatest Ghatam player I've ever heard and one of the best percussionists I've heard. I used to learn Mridangam but unfortunately have had to sacrifice it for medical studies. I am still a huge fan of carnatic music and stay in touch through videos like this. You are truly great sir - keep it up!!

[ghatamkarthick]

@virusehwag293 THANK U VERY MUSH. VERY HAPPY THAT U LIKE MY EFFORTS. WORDS LIKE THESE MOTIVATE ME FURTHER.

PLS DO KEEP IN TOUCH.

Regarding your Mridhangam, pls do restart , i am sure u will get it back very soon.

Keep smiling.

Karthick.

[BombayRepertoire]

[john5699]

do you have an instructional video or book? I am a professional percussionist myself that would love to learn your technique! I watch this video often.

William

[pallab1234]

great

[RandomTask3000]

How do they make a Ghatam to have the right pitch?

[jayravichandran]

They can modulate the pitch with clay placed on the inside of the ghatam.

usually, a ghatam artist will have ghatams of several different pitches and then use clay for slight further modulation

[RandomTask3000]

Thank you :)

[kalyankavuri]

outstanding....performace....k­arthik ji...u r simply superb...more videos plz...if u remember..can u post...nada sangeetha gaana rasike..which came few years befor in surya tv...thanks

[OctoBox]

Karthik-ji is the best -- would anyone argue; can someone show me a better virtuoso on Youtube; just superb.

When you listen to Karthik (this is a technique I'm sharing) allow your bones to feel each beat AND let the tympanic resonance dance around in your brain OR let it dance in your brain and resonate up and down your spine by pitch frequency -- low to high; like an inverted scale!  iPod while working, by the end of the day very high. Also, MS SUBBULAKSHMI n Raga Jog by Parween Sultana

[ludakrishnan]

absolutely fantastic, one the best ghatam solos ive ever seen
