Amazing Tabla Solo

While in India for a cousin's wedding, I was able to listen to some amazing authentic classical musicians up close and personal: A specially requested Tabla Solo. This guy is a percussion maestro, so talented and absolutely amazing! I can't even put a description in words. If there's one video you watch of mine, make sure it's this.

I know these kaidas. At 20 seconds, he starts playing:

Dha ti ta dha ti ta dha dha ti ta dha ge tin na kin na

Taa ti ta Taa ti ta Dha dha ti ta Dha ge dhin na gin na

At 2 minutes 31 seconds, he starts playing:

Dha tira kita tak dhira dhira kita tak

Dha tira kita tak tin na kita tak

Taa tira kita tak Tira Tira kita tak

Dha tira kita tak dhin na kita tak

I am learning those two kaidas in my tabla class, they're not that hard, he just plays them really good, and that's why they are awesome.

@shishyupal Dear I can understand your point, Ti Te Kaydas are hard for biginners. But there is a way out to reach at a considerable perfection of TiTe. Secret lies in learning Kaherwa ( although there is no Ti Te in Kaherwa ), Its a trick of the trade which is not taught by Ustads to the common people. You can learn it frm me without tears, I am a deciple of Usd Seikh Dawood

Hi !

Indeed, the kaidas you signaled are the first ones taught to beginners.

And believe me, they are hard. For this reason only masters make us drill them right from the start. Tabla walas justly nickname them "simple but difficult". Simple to recite, hard to play even at med speed in a relaxed manner, without tiring your fingers.

For me, one of the most hardcore kaida is Dha Dha Ti Te / Dha Dha Tu Na, on page 1 of any tabla wala. Try it at 100 bpm with the lehera machine.
