He still follows that old sampradayam of sitting with the left leg raised and folded outwards (a very difficult position for almost all mridangists today). A true laya yogi and mahavidwan!

@paramparaa1916,

Thanks for pointing that out!

[grimm36]

is this a female or male mridangam?(length). And is the treble skin using the straw or the iron balls? Im asking because i like the tone of this mridangam. I know they come in difirent sizes which give difirent pitches and difent snare mechanism between the two skins on the treble. Help would be appreceiated.

@grimm36,

This is a male mridangam. It is also the reed (straw) variety.

The reed type is called 'Kutchi mridangam'

The Iron ball type is known as 'Kappi Mridangam'

I have posted more info on your channel page

@enissophilia Just because you dont like someone doesnt mean they're not geniuses. This man is a sangeetha kalandhi for heavens sake. I would like to see render one piece at the music academy. I dont think TN Seshagopalan is the best but that doesn't mean i would call him pathetic. I hope you lose your ignorance.
