i can play the dholki...not just on the dholak, but also on the door, table, maybe even my monitor, once even tried on an empty water container made of plastic, basically any hard surface that is at room temperature...all i use is my wrist and fingers...and yeah, i never learnt from anyone either.

i'm teaching myself how to play harmonia .......been wanting to do it for so long....

[sikhlionz]

when i was a kid i went to tabla class but couldn't really play as i had fat fingers as a kid

:wub:

shut up

so i ended up going to katrate class instead but i wanted to learn an instrument but the teacher said "i think you'd best learn the dhol" - dunno why!

for some reason i can play the dhol but would have absolutely no reason to ever want to since i'm not even into bhangra

and it's not even the sort of instrument you'd do keertan to or do for your own consumption

i'd love to learn a stringed instrument but i think i'd be to stupid to learn

dhol is good for gatka. :TH: dont need rubbish bangera , wat about doin the old style tabla, traditional long shaped like dhol but got like the tabla head on either side.

[sikhlionz]

seriously- my dad has the hardest brick-like hands on earth but mine are like a baby's bottom- it's awful ! i was trying my best to make a note on the tabla but it was so faint you could sooner hear a pin drop

i think i'm only good at the dhol because you have sticks and beat it like a caveman

Stringed instruments are the instruments of the holy because of the 'thu' sound pronounced reminds us of You/Waheguru.

Maybe Keyboard / Harmonium Vaja style insturments might be better suited to my soft hands- then again i'd probably end up mashing the keys

some indian music teachers really know how to dent your confidence
