## Description

The tabla, a hand drum which originated in India, has become very popular throughout the world. This method covers everything you need to know to learn to play the tabla, including the history and parts of the tabla, tuning and maintenance, positioning, basic exercises, and numerous techniques and patterns. A glossary is included to help the student decipher the many mnemonics and foreign terms which are essential to the tradition of the tabla. The accompanying online audio download illustrates many of the exercises, so that this book may be used either with or without a teacher.

Review: Great beginners guide - I found this book useful as a beginner, the CD provided is very helpful. You are able to listen to what the boles should sound like. Introduction to the Taals, Kaidas etc. are covered very nicely. Definitely recommended for the beginner.
Review: Strictly beginner level .... - Unless you live on the west coast, getting yourself trained in tabla is quite a pain. This book gives a good start but is quite basic. For such a magical and culturally rich instrument, training should be more widely available to the masses. For the cost of this book, one should be able to take online lessons for the whole year. India needs to subsidize resources that make its rich culture more accessible to Indians all over the world.
