They do, but what is so unique about their playing is that they play this cycles of different polyrhythms: 11/4 over 5/4, or 9/4 over 4/4. Basically with one hand tap 9 times and the other hand tap 4 times and with strict time always coming back to one with both hands evenly. It might seem possible but there is a easy way to learn this. Just takes practice.
zakkir ji is a fantastic tabla player, not brilliantly fast in this clip but the thing was the tonal quality and ease with which he played...OMG amazing!...taufiq by comparison is quite a messy tabla player...
thats wats so fantastic about zakir, hes quite a happy hyper person, i met him once, i was in the same van as him with my teacher gupal dhas (pakavage master)

When I watch Zakir in this clip, he makes it look easy and fun. When I watch his brother, he makes it look difficult and not fun.

it's not Taufiq that's playing with him, It Fazal. Though you're right about him being messy.
