@noslonivha Techniques should only be shown by people who have mastered the instruments. Kanjira has remained a credible instrument because credible players pass the exact way to play the thing. Youtube is slowly grinding down people's awareness of what is a good stroke vs a general stroke. Better to watch no videos than a misleading one. Learning mistakes will only get you mistakes.
@Khalilullah Yeah maybe Scott is not the best rep for kanjira, but this video is slow and has explanation.
If one lives in the USA like me for instance, the pros are far away or super far away.
I personally am without the money right now to got to school or travel. A video like this which is free besides my cost for internet service is a big help. A majority of the videos on here about kanjira are for show imo and not educational. I know that there are also educational dvd's about kanjira.
I love Scott's frame drum playing, but his Kanjira technique is so obviously low I think it's counter -productive to have him represent this instrument. Especially when there are so many professionals to make connections with.
i can't get my kanjira to tone bend. it's not me, it's the drum. i play everything from congas to tablas to the khamak, all with perfect pitch bends, but my kanjira just can't get that doum resonance. maybe because it's fish skin?
@Khalilullah Can you tell us which are the mistakes on the strokes?
