Try to make out the same beat, if you do keertan you can use this to play with with your shabad, its the best internet can offer you, if you're serious about learning then I suggest find a good teacher.

Those are just the taals (rhythmic cycles)!

To learn how to play a taal u gota learn the bols that are played on the tabla to complete a rhythmic cycle...

Yeh the best tabla players in the world are still 'students' even though they teach hundreds of students.

Tabla requires dedication and serious passion for the instrument...

if ur gna make a living out of playing tabla u gota love it!!! :TH:

Ive been playing tabla for 13 yrs since the age of 3 and now im 16 years old and im still just a student and have a longgggggg way to go...

Tabla cant be learnt overnight as it needs years of riyaaz (practice) and the sooner you get a guru/ustad to teach you the better... Its better to start at a young age as the hands of a child are able to adapt well to the tabla and the child can learn stuff quickly... just like learning to walk.

:nihungsmile: Good luck learning tabla.. keep the spirit of indian classical music alive!!! :T:

[Sandeep S]

U definately need teacher to learn taba. How can a website tell u r getting right sound out of tabla and-tusi tabla sur ch kive karida ae-. Moreover evry ustad on the web will gve its own kaida for a tal if u folow dat all u will mngle up. Ucan play any tal but only ustad will tell u how much riyaaz u still need. Som bols read same but sound differntly so may be wrong wthout ustad guidance
