Great thani avarthanam... Liked much

@boomtao My pleasure.
South Indian music is very under-rated. As someone correctly mentioned G Harishankar died aged 43 wih little recognition apart from wikipedia '... widely considered to have been the greatest kanjira artist ever to have played this instrument'.
There's a wealth of rhythmic styles untapped by world music.
My master's master Umayal Puram Shivaraman (one of the 'greats') who numbered Harishankar in his troupe, describes Carnatic as Jazz with prehistoric origins.

@rgiri77 -- Thank you very much. I will watch and listen. Thanks!

@boomtao As a senior student of one of his friends I have 'sat in' on a recital with G Harishankar just before he died. So I would be happy to signpost you to more information about meters. However the raisen detre of percussion at this level is to bewilder those highly knowledgeable in Carnatic music.
Check this 'instructional' video by another 'great' TVG: 8y-91PkkeK4 (replace WJbiILmfuPc in your browser). The final piece put together is the basic structure of all drum solos

All drum pardams (lessons) start with a 'distribution': a nadai (beat sequence) played once or repeated 2/4/8/... times then reduced in equal amounts.
Followed by the 'Muthayam': a nadai finishing with a 'Thom' repeated three times ending exactly at the end of a 4/8/16/... bar punctuated with a final 'tha' or 'tham'.
Google 'Tha' Thi' Thom' 'Nam' for the building blocks of Indian percussion and how they sound.

You are a pathetic, ignorant and arrogant person. What do you know about Indian music? BTW, the third person is not a white man, he's Indian, but an Albino. His name is G Harishankar and arguably the best kanjira player, bless his soul!
