Umayalpuram K.Sivaraman - Mridanga Cintamanih

[chaalchalancharitra]

UKSji is the world's foremost expert on the mridangam and tonal percussion. He is a lawyer and used to have an active practice until about 30 years back. Since then he has spent about 10 years learning N.Indian percussion and produced a true Indian fusion by reproducing bols and tans on the mridangam. Then he spent the next ten years mastering Western Percussion. And the next ten years researching the mridangam.

ya...he has researched on fibre glass mridangam and finally has also said that the mrigdangam made in jackfruit is the best

That mridangam Sivaraman sir uses at 2:00 onwards looks and sounds like a fibreglass mridangam.

'Wave freely'

Very true it turns out to be. When you relax the shoulders, arms and fingers, it is easier to play faster, for longer and to transition easily.

'Come on, give it a zip'

hahaahhahha cool attitude

[sonofthedestroyer]

At 0:25 'Is ok?' and the little kid nods LOL

[sonofthedestroyer]

WOW! This is gold dust.

I feel for the little kid though. Very difficult to play mridangam with such small fingers.
