korvai for Adhi thALam

Jon Singer, percussionist in New York City, learns a kOrvai [rhythmic composition] from me. He is one of my bright sishya [disciple] and he is bound to shine, very soon.

I dont get Your instruction at the end of the second minute: You should play, practice and... It would be useful to understand cause anyway the scene so edifying for a mridangam disciple like myself. Thank You

i like the birds starting in around 2:50...

then the crickets chime in to harmonize.(just before the ice cream man brings it home). maybe their shruti is a little off from the mrudangam...very fine work jon...but someone is missing a moustache!

@erode95, sir cud u plz post the notes for this korvai, the korvai i do for adi thalam is simple, this one seems to be tough and nice....

Is it like, you compose korvai based on wat u learnt, actually i learnt adi, rupaka, misra chaapu & kanda chaapu..it was during my school,due to public exams i stopped classes, so i am not able to play for songs...

wheres part two

Yes he appears to have the natural ability in my opinion. He hits the dhin and the chaapu with clarity which is important (at least that is what some experts tell me).

Thank You, Sir! All best to You, Sir!
