chill after chill runs down my spine when i look at vikku ji.

john mclauhglin says that vikku was responsible for all of the rhytmic composition with Shakti in the 70s. Zakir himself says he learnt everything about carnatic music from square one with vikku.

and what a man selva ganesh is. beautiful.

Thanks dnikhilrao. isnt it amazing that those shakti rhythms were actually composed by Vikkuji ? Seeing his virtuosity, one is hardly surprised. yes His son Selwwa is another maestro, and I believe modern drummer mag rated him top 5 percussionists in the world. Vikku's other son UmaShankar is for me,the best ghatam player. See him on some of our other videos on youube. v=Vikku has such a inspiring family of maestros...brilliant yet so humble. Thanks for your comments and sharing your thoughts.

Thank you. Amazing. Inspiring. I love how he's so into it and he feels the music with all his body. He is one with the rhythm. One with the vibrations. Vikku playing with L. Shankar on violin and Zakhir Hussein on tabla is one of the most inspiring and potent combinations EVER! As an aside -- I saw a really good ghatam player last night with Prasanna -- his name was S. Karthick. Check him out too!

[ultimategurumusic]

Thank you Sushumna..feels great when others are as inspired as we were producing this performance/instructional DVD. yes you said it best - vikku is completely one with the rhythm. I have heard Karthik too, and he is very good, though I didnt know he plays with Prasanna. thanks for sharing your thoughts!

That pot is called Manamadurai Ghatam is its no ordinary pot. Its made with extreme care(thickness of the pot is even throughout) with little brass mixed with the earthen-ware and is capable of handling even free-falls

[giriisindahouse]

Did that pot ever break coz he's hitting it with real force

[amarinnervizion]

just so you know, this is Vikku Vinayakram, played with Shakti alongside John McLaughlin of Mahavishnu Orchestra, Jonas Hellborg and also Mattias Eklundh to name just a few who you may recognise...
