One of my favorite artists of all time. I had the great honor of speaking to him for a few minutes at one of his concerts at the Ali Akbar Khan college of music. Not only is he the finest tabla player of our time, he is also extremely friendly, loving, and humble. A true maestro.
I was also a student of Swapanda. After class he would just play for about 5 minutes and it was the highlight of my week. He taught us very well....and he gave me a great dhere-dhere!
Pandit ji is simply amazing. one of a kind. you are very lucky to be his student. I have read articles about him. His life story is equally unique. can you please tell me what he says in between. it's not clear. He talks about the gat. All I hear is farukabad and lucknow. please help me.
I am one of his students and am amazed at his skill whenever I hear him!!! The way he tunes his drum is amazing!!! It rings out and is in perfect tune. It soothes you from the inside.

Swapanda says that it is more like palkabad and that it is to some extent lucknow but not 100%. He says that it is not the formal lucknow style.
