This is a south Indian mrdangam. In the north of India, there is a drum that is called Pakhvaaj by many, but some call that Mrdang or Mrdanga. And on top of it, the Hare Krshna folk call their drum a Mrdang too, although it differs from both the northern and southern Mrdang-s. There is a bit of complexity in the nomenclature as India is a vast and ancient culture.
wow....quite informative and educative....and the mridangam thani in the background was awesome....i think i haven't heard so crisp and clear mridangam sounds many times before....thanks for uploading.
