Bahman Rajabi and Chakad Group - Winter of 1380 Bahman Rajabi was born 1939 in Rasht. He considers himself as student of the past and contemporary tombak masters, by learning from past masters and being influenced by contemporary masters. He considers Ostad Amir Naser Eftetah as being more influential. Bahman Rajabi has renovated and modernized the work of other artists. He has also made some notable innovations in the art of Tombak especially in expansion of playing techniques by using logical methods. He has renovated the traditional Iranian 6/8 rhythms known as "motrebi" or "ruhozi". He has added ten new riz(roll) to the previous five traditional riz(roll). He is an excellent orator. He has given many lectures accompanied by solo performances about Tombak without expecting any financial reward. He believes that a modern Tombak artist must be a scholar, a thinker and a researcher as well as a good player. Bahman Rajabi is a mountaineer. Bahman Rajabi believes that art is for attainment of highest human attributes and not means for accumulating wealth. For this reason, he never plays in any institution in which art has only entertainment value.

Pedram is a great guy, a great teacher and one of the best percussionists I've heard. If you're curious about his work u should check out some Kayhan Kalhor and Ross Daly albums. He also has a percussion group. But if you're really interested, he will be giving a seminar at the Labyrinth Musical Workshop from the 7th-12th of August in Crete, Greece
thanks for your comment. i don't know much about pedram khavar-zamini. do u have some of his works that you could possibly send me? i know at some point he was a very good student, but then what i hear from rajabi about pedram is not good. he has not been loyal to rajabi's maktab and himself, and has done things to hurt him etc...
can u tell me more about what rajabi told u? as far as i know rajabi didn't like some innovations (polyrhythm's ect) that pedram applied on the tombak, so maybe what he told u is a by-product of the clash between "old" and "new", traditionalism and modernity.
