Trichy Sankaran - Mridangam Solo in Misra Chaapu

Trichy Sankaran plays a solo in taalam Misra Chaapu. One of the best mridangam players in the world today. Is right up there with the elite percussionists.
He is the student of the legendary Pazhani Subramania Pillai.
He has his own trademark style.
My favourite part is between 2:30 and 3:15

@satchi123,

Yes this type of playing is pure Trichy Sankaran style. He seemed to be playing more for enjoyment than anything else. Had a more laid back, cool approach than other thanis

[carnaticandslokam]

ya i got karai mani with harisankar, full, in adi (greatest !!), roopakam, m.chapp & kh.chapp... also umayalpuram siv doing the same. both will sum up to more than 2 hours (solo only). so, u ppl can compare profusely and talk a lot about tanjavur & palani styles... and enjoy and what not ! Or what else to do!!

palghat mani or palani subrahmaniam pillai... uks or k. mani...

@carnaticandslokam ,

Is this kucchi mirudhangam? I just can't get enough of this

[sonofthedestroyer]

Certainly it is. That effortless chaapu sound can only come from a kutchi mridangam

trance!!

Super subtle balance of gumki, meetu, chaapu, naatham, solkattu variety, creativity in establishing progression of gathis into korvais, modern day wholesomeness.....what i love in the exposition of Maestro Trichy Shankaran & Umayalpuram Shivaraman.

Great recording - thanks for posting! Your favorite part (between 2:30 and 3:15) contains all the sollukattu that Pudukkottai Sri Dakshinamurthi Pillai's lessons include. Also at 5:00 through 5:40. The korvais at 7:00 through 7:45 were composed by Sri Pillai-val. The gumkis are superlative!
