  • The split finger has opened new possibilities to do long rolls and hand tricks that were not possible before. I appreciate both styles as much for what they have.

  • the argument is not which finger you lead with, its single finger double ka's Classic arabic/syrian style usually cleaner, but that could be cause its typically played slower ( hold your comments on speed, I haven't seen ANYBODY do single finger ka's as fast as the turkish double blur or double stroke roll for you purists ) vs two finger turkish doubles.

  • excellent teach I ever seen!:)

  • the arabic style is akin to tabla tirikita strokes, but opposite!

  • thanks !!!Good tips !

  • clear and understandable! great demonstration

  • THANK YOU FAISAL .... MASHKOR YA WARDA

    

  • Perfect!

  • Double ka's can be played fast enough for almost any type of music. Sure the actual movement of the Turkish split finger is faster, but it ends up just being a "brush" like sound. I prefer the cleaner sound of the double ka's.

  • ahla faisal walah ,ya salam alik ,

  • thank u soo much , mashalah

  • well done...shukran

  • The Turkish style you move your wrist instead of you finger joints as in the arabic style. Because you do that you can make faster roles.

  • the difference is that with the turkish style you can do double-strokes not only in the middle of the drum, but also on the edge of it (double tak). because of the turkish finger-order you have more drive to get enough power for the edge strokes.

  • Swweeeeeeeeeeet.

  • Why do so many people rave about the Turkish split-finger technique (index-ring) when the only difference between it and the traditional Arabic technique (ring-index) seems to be the order of the fingers. Am I missing something here?

  • yes i agree

    thank you Faisal!

    thousands will sound better now

    been tryihg to figure out how to do those rolls!!!

  • so nice

  • Thanks!

  • faisal! thank you sooooo much for sharing your technique with us! now i know how to do it! and i'm sure thousands of people well sound better now, after seeing this tape! thanks for posting this video! god bless you!!!!!!!

  • حلو كتير شكرا يا فنان

  • very cool

  • thanks so much faisal! you rock. i love the way you embrace the knowledge and technique from many places and use it to your advantage, instead of being stuck in a particular style. in *my* opinion, IT"S ALL GOOD!

  • Amazing. Both Arabic style techniques are excellent and they are far superior to the split-finger technique, imo.

  • Fantastic!
