this man sings and plays with a fire like no other tabaliya. only a great and fearless person could play this way. his performance is fierce and unique. shabash panditji!

[Saattvic]

he was a master at the latter. it is for no small reason that he was awarded india's second highest civilian honour. further, i have heard recordings of him in his younger days, and the beauty of his bols was as good as anyone back then.

when people praise him, they do not praise his execution of a piece at the current instant, they praise his lifetime contributions to hindustani classical music.

i have the greatest respect for sufi players, but do not compare him to one as he isnt sufi..

Apart from all tirkit dhirkit and tayari, there are also emotion which is must, in Indian classical music, Pandit Kishan Maharaj ji was not an ordinary person, and only it was possible by him to bring up this divine mood with the tabla.Pranam to him.

@sherazwilliam1

m8 its not ding u little shit.

the bol is dhin but it is pronounced dhee (similar to dhin) as it is played with an open hand with 4fingers, and pandit kishan ji maharaj is saying like he does in the video to stress the gap in between and because masters speak the tabla bol as it is played.

Just out of curiousity, who did you learn from, also can you please post a video and direct us to a recording of yourself playing.

@ebisu2001 Wow! here comes another one. There is no reason to be angry with you . You know when I started learning quantum mechanics, I didn't appreciate it much either. However, it meant that Quantum mechanics was not my cup of tea. Maybe the same applies to you.

@atracurium1 You would know about poor haath ki safai. May I ask your qualifications - who did you train with, how many years and where have you performed. It is hilarious to read rank novice comment on the one of the greatest exponents of his art.

[KumarTabla]

Kyaa baat hai Panditji!!! Powerful Tabla playing indeed!

[add9191]

The word mediocre should never be used when describing Panditji. Apart from being a man of great morals and culture, he was a genius at laaykari, an aspect of tabla sangat which has been overlooked by the speed and flash of today's tabla players. It is a shame that you cannot appreciate the beauty and skill in his playing. Ask any knowledgeable musician their opinion on Panditji, ESPECIALLY Pandit Anindo Chatterjee and Pandit Swapan Chaudhuri and they will give you the same response.
