Enjoy learning Tabla

The Tabla has multiple dimensions. It sounds like a drum that can play melodies, and has a movable bass tone. It is unusual as it is ‘tuneful’, but remains very much a drum. Words can’t do it justice – you have to hear it to believe it!

Tabla players play with an incredible facility that uses the fingers on the hands in a variety of ways. The kind of accompaniment they provide can be both elaborate and simple, but it is always elegant. The Tabla repertoire is handed down orally from generation to generation.

Some unforgettable Tabla players are Ameer Husain Khan, Thirukva Khan, Habibuddin Khan, Ram Sahay, Abid Husain Khan, Anokhelal, Lateef Ahmed and Gudai Maharaj, along with the living legends like Alia Rakha Khan, Kishan Maharaj and Sharda Sahay.

Among the younger generation Zakir Hussain, Sapan Chaudhari, Anindo Chatterjee, Kumar Bose, Shafaat Ahmed, Bikram Ghosh and several others are the prominent tabla players that India has produced.
