yea but this was in a consert. u will waste money to see this.........come on let's be more realistic!

[trinitabla]

I can assure you that nobody who attended the concert wasted his money!!!!!

[vvvroops]

couldnt he choose a little more complex composition? What a shame. i dont like this piece!!!!

[trinitabla]

vvvroops, a tabla player's skill is not determined only by the complexity of composition that he renders, furthermore i have heard and seen great tabla players, Ustd Zakir Hussain, Pt Swapan Chaudhari etc play very simple compositions, but play them beautifully nonetheless. Let us not begin criticizing other tabla players!!!

[trinitabla]

I jus love how pt ji say, "I am jus playing a little Kalavati" He is so nice and humble!!!! And well uncle dex's tabla was superb!!! ! I really had a great time at the concert!!!

difficult then you can understand how difficult is to play kaida correctly. So we must not criticise someone by saying that he has played a simple composition.

[ravi18tripathi]

@vvvroops Once after a concert a young man asked Ustad Ahmadjaan Thirakwa that " What is difficult to play in tabla?". Ustadji didn't pay attention to him and just said ignoring him that "The whole tabla is difficult". But the young man kept insisting with his question, Ustadji realized that really wanted to "learn" the answer. He said that to play the correct "Dha" at the right time is itself very difficult. You must understand the philosophy behind his words. If to play the dha is (contd.)

@vvvroops A real artist is one who can make simple compositions( in your view) look sweeter. There is no composition in tabla which is "simple".

[behenkabhai]

Quite "dextrous" and nice!

Now viewed this video.....well just not impressed at all! I have known Dexter for a few years now and it seems as if he has not improved one bit! It was very sad to see people actually liking this....however it is understandable because I am sure all of those people really don't know anything much about tabla at all. To people comparing this to compositions played by ustad ji it is extremely disappointing because although ustad ji might play a simple compostion he might play it in chaugun or ar

[DefeatingTheSilence]

vvroops shut up hes my teacher if u think he picked a bad composition keep it to your self because no one wasted there money
