Trichy Sankaran - Mridangam Solo in Misra Chaapu

[criptommy]

trance!!

[astrohari25]

Super subtle balance of gumki, meetu, chaapu, naatham, solkattu variety, creativity in establishing progression of gathis into korvais, modern day wholesomeness.....what i love in the exposition of Maestro Trichy Shankaran & Umayalpuram Shivaraman.

[satchi123]

never heard this style before....he plays it in a way that at some parts it sounds like an echo..amazing!!!

@satchi123,

Yes this type of playing is pure Trichy Sankaran style. He seemed to be playing more for enjoyment than anything else. Had a more laid back, cool approach than other thanis

Great recording - thanks for posting! Your favorite part (between 2:30 and 3:15) contains all the sollukattu that Pudukkottai Sri Dakshinamurthi Pillai's lessons include. Also at 5:00 through 5:40. The korvais at 7:00 through 7:45 were composed by Sri Pillai-val. The gumkis are superlative!

Thanks for sharing a great clip. Very good sound clarity

[iyerranjit]

This is simply brilliant! So much grace and clarity.

@carnaticandslokam ,

That is exciting news. Please upload them soon

[FutbolFanatic90]

Is this kucchi mirudhangam? I just can't get enough of this

[sonofthedestroyer]

Certainly it is. That effortless chaapu sound can only come from a kutchi mridangam

Hey thanks for this and for the other percussion related posts...sankaran sir is real textbook, beautiful to listen to ..a real torchbearer of the Palani style

[Shishyandipu]

Again Thanks SofD, Sorry to ask in many blogs the same thing but you have a copy of Sri Karaikkudi Mani Sir's personal practicwe with G Harisankar and the same has been removed from youtube later. Any Idea ?

Thanks

Dipu

Funny thing, i have been asking around for the same thing. A guy named percussionfan had uploaded it i think. Another guy had uploaded a slightly different one with a French title i think. Both disappeared.

Nobody seems to know why the videos are not there.

@Shishyandipu check my video

[mr4simplecit]

definetly a good percussionist. i wish had a drum like his

[sonofthedestroyer]

The percussionist actually lives in Canada. And there are alot of mridangam players in Canada. So you may be able to buy one there.
