If you are in this deep and liked it then you should listen to a performance called a 'jugalbandi' where one instrument asks a question and the other instrument answers it. You will be zapped by the centuries old Indian musical tradition. BTW Zakir Husain is a legend and his father was also a legend.
Also Zakir Hussain and Rahul Sharma
Zakir Hussain and Hariprasad Chaurasia jugalbandis are mind blowing. For instance, listen to this one:

Yes and there's a great performance in center fresh ad uu should definitely hit it
He is the greatest Tabla player. He is considered as one of the best musicians India ever has.
@Putt Punjabi looks like you don’t understand what the superlative degree of the word ‘great’ is or may be you don’t know even the M of music. Otherwise you wouldn’t have made this comment.
@@ninadkulkarni4986 exactly
@Putt Punjabi you might have your prospective but for almost every one who loves music or know about music would agree with me.
Not just India... He is one among the best percussionists of the World... While Usthadji plays... He becomes one with the instrument.. and it merges into bliss❤️❤️❤️
@@ManrajSingh4U Ahmad Jan Thirakwa was pretty damn great & really pushed forward the unique styles of the Farrukhabad/Lucknow/Ajrara/Delhi gharanas, crafting unique kaidas representing each. The few videos you can watch of him were when he was an old man, and he's still amazing. Ud. Allah Rakha really did justice to the 'whole hand' style of Punjab gharana, and Zakirji is a student of it all. Both Thirakwa and Zakirji have really informative videos to watch showcasing the different styles of tabla.
The head of each tabla drum has a central area of "tuning paste" (black spot) called the SYAHI. This is constructed using multiple layers of a paste made from mixture of gum, soot, and iron filings, precise construction and shaping of this area is responsible for modification of the drum's natural overtones, resulting in the clarity of pitch and variety of tonal possibilities unique to this instrument which has a bell-like sound. The skill required for the proper construction of this area is highly refined and is the main differentiating factor in the quality of a particular instrument.

Thanks for the info buddy 👏❤️
Perfectly explained.
Thanks for the explanation!
Guys this was good but for ustad zakir hussain I'd suggest you watch the following to truly appreciate his art:
1) Zakir Hussain: Horse Running
2) Ustad Zakir Hussain and Rahul sharma
Yes .. definitely 🙏🙏👍
Yes please
Great choices. Here is another one worth watching: Zakir Hussain & Rakesh Chaurasia, for a Jugalbandi (kind of competitive duet): ua-cam.com/video/O2K0ptoYpuc/v-deo.html
Next Jugalbandi of Tabla and Bansuri (Indian flute) by Ustad Zakir Hussain and Rakesh Chaurasia
🔥
That will be 😍.
Love that
That performance in its entirety is too beautiful for words. It was the second piece of Indian classical I watched the first being Ustad Zakir Hussein and Ustad Sultan Khan. I’ve been hooked ever since.
Lately I have been really enjoying Niladri Kumar Revelation album.
That man right there has been playing that instrument for 50 years straight.He can make them speak. You can only imagine what he can do with that tabla. He is a legend.
With all due respect he is referred as " USTAAD" ( Master) Zakir Hussain. He has been trained since his childhood and he is Jewel of India in Music Industry, A very renowned personality across the globe for playing TABLA so gracefully, elegant and soothing to ears.
Also pandit zakir Hussain
@@marshallmarthes same meaning, pandit is hindi ustadz is urdu and persian.
Its so many thousands of years old musical traditions. As the instrument itself tabla is not very old, but the Idea is 5 to 6 thousand years old because its all comes from Sama Veda. Tabla derived its Idea from much much older but also in mainstream use percussion instrument called Pakhavaj (in north Indian classical music system), In south Indian classical music system the same thing is called Mridangam.
The subcontinent was in the middle of the silk route to the north and the spice route to the south...so not only did it influence others, it also absorbed from others....apparently the tabla came from the arabian penninsula....the sitar possibly from the persian empire and the harmonium from china by way of the west....!!?....
@@kattor8 yes everything was from outside, we didn't have any capabilities to come up with something original. And we was all junglis shited in mud wholes, outsiders came and made us civilized. Everything good in us, everything that is precious to us wasn't by us, it was all from outsiders mercy. Right?
It didn't come from Middle East. Amir Khusro invented Tabla by dividing Pakhavaj inro two parts.
@@kattor8 that’s what you say when abba cannot afford to educate you. The factual knowledge will lead you toward truth
Lol. Many things were developed during the 'Mughal Rule', but it was in Modern Day India, the creators and artists were Hindu and Muslims combined. Everyone should do some research before assuming something about another culture.
You should see a snippet of his duet with the flute master Rakesh Chaurasia.
In very simple terms, the right drum (Tabla) is tuned to the tonic and has 12 different strokes around that tonic. (depending on where and how to tap it.)
The left hand drum is not tuned. It has two strokes, but the pitch can be varied using the pressure of the heel of the palm.
The time signature is assiduously maintained through the performance. You were right to constantly nod your head like a metronome somewhere in the middle of the concert. In fact, had you continued clapping metronomically throughout from then, you would have realise that while he appears to be wandering away from the metronome, you will find they are exquisitely controlled journeys all around the metronome and it will merge in and out of the time signature. That is very very typical of Indian classical percussion instruments of all kinds.
There's no metal part on the upper surface of Tabla !! Basically the upper circle part is attached with band like thing made up of stretchable cloth which goes right into the lower part of Tabla and there's a slidable wooden cylinder kinda thing which is adjusted according to the frequency of sound you need
misleading.
You're listening to a legend Ustad Zakir Hussain 🙏🏻 and the technique and music is thousands of years old...known atleast for 5000 years.
His fingers fast than my internet speed 🤣
"Ustaad" or "Pandit" is a hard title to earn. Given to an individual based on the mastery of a craft.
A podcast with a trained Indian classical musician to understand the basics is all we want. 🙏🏻
A good tabla player can play all the notes that exists on the tabla… this man is one of the best tabla player that ever lived..! His skill is unmatched and this gig was a masterclass for percussion students… and they did get one hell of a masterclass.!!!!
Greetings from the Netherlands 🇳🇱
🙏🏾👋🏾👊🏾
When ustaad zakir started slowly in the beginning , who else was excited about these two watching the madness to come ahead
He is Rockstar by work and personality both!😅 He is quiet funny and intelligent personality.. please see his interview
No it is not highly responsive to less impact.😅 I know intermediate level tabla and believe me ,it takes lots of practice to produce impactful sound.
Ohh from where did you learn from
Respect
He teaches music, and I think he is happy to talk about his art. He also has collaborated with musicians all over the world, so might give some answers to your questions about musical instruments and influence
Zakir Hussain - *grammy award in 2009
* Inidia's highest award ie padam bhushan, padam shri
*National haritage award
Collaborated with many western high personalities in music industry like for example mickey hart.
I LOVED this reaction!!! You two are so knowledgeable and curious and appreciative - thank you so much!
I learned a lot about how the tabla works today - the part where Efra demonstrated on the box thing how your fingers gotta work to make the pitch go higher was insane!! And I appreciate so much the comparisons to Latin percussion. I know nothing about Latin music outside of the mainstream (so….. despacito lol) but if there’s any music that you think really shows off the culture and art and heritage please let us know! I promise if you reply to this with some links I’ll check it out.
PS: the only link I can think of between Indian and Latin music is pretty remote. I know that flamenco dance is very culturally important in Spain, and was kind of brought there by the Romani/gypsy people. For a long time no one really knew where they came from, as they had been travelling for centuries throughout Europe, picking up customs and culture wherever they went, eventually becoming their own distinct identity. But from modern research we’ve found out that they originated from North India, in the early 11th century! And flamenco dance has A LOT in common with kathak dance! And kathak is absolutely based on percussion and tabla (just watch any kathak performance, and you will understand).
So, that is an amazing and awesome link - but apart from that the cultures are pretty separate, despite all the things we have in common (food, is a big one - chapati and wheat tortillas are the same thing. In Punjab they eat “makki ki roti”, and that’s pretty much an arepa. We eat lots of beans and lentils, and use a lot of cumin and various kinds of chilli. The list goes on.)
Sorry I guess I rambled a lot! I was just taken away by this reaction, though I have been watching for a long time. Much love, snd please give me recommendations of Latin music
He is a Maestro!! A living legend!!
Watch something about instrument called 'VEENA'
Ehhhee !! U got hold of zakir hussain finally . The living tabla god
He name is preceded with a prefix "Ustaad" which means "Master" . He is a World legend.
Similarly if u see a prefix of "Pandit or Pt. " before ba name , it means "Master".
Sherya's Breklyee performance is amazing.

He is one of the all time greats amongst the Tabla players ! He is "Zakir Hussain" of India🇮🇳👍🏼
He is an world renowned musician widely respected! Watch his interview by "our stupid reaction", the famous You Tube channel run by Rick n Korbin!
Each sound has a word associated to it. I was taught starting with
"Ghi Ghi te ta Ghi Ghi Na na | K K te ta Ghi Ghi Na Na ||", (te - with index finger, and ta - with the last 3 fingers)
Practiceing this first for few hours/days this will let you understand how much force we need for the basic sounds. Later combination are taught on how well you position your fingers and your understanding of the basics.
a simple suggestion
When a maestro is playing.. Enjoy the whole session first... It's a treat to the ears the mind and the soul... And when it ends u can always go back and discuss about whatever may be the takeaways... The West needs to learn the art of listening first without interruption
By the way he was portraying the horse 🐎 at certain part and it’s nice to see how he ended by slowing down the horse.
USTAAD literally means MASTER.....
Everytime I see u both I can see the deep love n passion for music in both of u ,I can bet most of ur audience feels the same ,keep moving forward 💯

you guys should react to breathless by shankar mahadevan! "Breathless," is a steady stream of a song that goes on without a break, stanzas, verse or apparently even a pause for breath.
You should hear Mahesh Kale
Ustaad Jee's Tabla is simply Out of this World, He is the living embodiment of the instrument known as Tabla. Check a few more videos. I am sure you would simply be blown away by his talent.
For a different taste of Indian music, I urge you to listen to "Kalakkatha", its a tribal song from a movie named "Ayappanum Koshiyum". There are hundreds of songs that will take you by surprise. This being one of them.
The sticks on the sides change the frequency of the area near the strings. You can push them higher or lower to tighten or loosen the strings so that when you strike the tabla near one of those strings you get a different note and tone.
Ustad means Mastero
It's not that this type of music doesn't follow percussiveness. It's just that this type of music isn't limited to easy time signatures like 3/4 or 4/4 . It's more complex to normal ears. You have to do a lot of counting for that.
You should guys should react to some dance beat song too.
1.o saki saki
2. Ek toh kam zindagani
3.dreamum wakeupem
And some arjit singh song like
1. Laal ishq
2. Aayat full song
Just fyi, he was never being “disrespectful” to the time signature. Indian classical music systems employ rhythmic cycles not found in Western music. He was spot on the entire time. He’s a master.
ZAKIR HUSSAIN IS WORLD NUMBER ONE TABLA PLAYER, A LIVING LEGEND IN PLAYING TABLA, A BASIC INSTRUMENT OF INDIAN MUSIC...
Its so good to see that you have a fabulous knowledge regarding music... 💓💓 keep it up.. great reaction as well as analysis
Dear Ustad Zakirhussen is playing tabla from age of 3 and he is a god gifted tabla plyer like his father.One of the most versatile tabla players.We in india love him and adore him.he is inspiration to thousands of young artist world wide.we indians are proud of him.
Zakir Hussain has a title of 'ustaad' which means the complete mastery over something.
I am a tabla player here's my take
It has its own language
Every hit of the finger on the any area of the tabla has a phonetic word attached to it. And we learn it that way.
Ustad Zakir Hussain is a legend and has a very different take on tabla. Most other players go by the taal and creates the story around it. He uses the sounds to create various stories and unique pieces which are not played at all by other artists. He is one a kind artistand has taken tabla to a completely different level.
Tabla base is made with mud like vases are made. It can also be made with copper.
The top is goat skin and black portion is made with iron and rice paste.
Ustad Zakir sahib is showcasing the very fine nuances of what table can be. On other occasions he goes electric... The left side wider part is called Duggi. And traditionally is made out of pottery with goat leather for the strands and camel skin for the playing surface. Both sides can be tuned to different base notes. Ustad here is being cheeky and precise in a contemporary composition. ❤️
The time signature is extremely fluid in Indian classical music, within both its streams viz. Hindustani and classical; time signatures shift from one to the other within a bar quite a lot of times; could go from a 4/4 to a 5/8 to a 9.5/16 in 2 bars and back..
This much precision comes out when you put ur whole life on just two pieces of drums
Something you'd like to know. When you read PANDIT or USTAAD or VIDUSHI in the name of Indian classical musicians, they are considered masters in their art. So it's USTAAD Zakir Husain... is the master of Tabla (respect).
very nice reaction! you guys being musicians helps a lot in mutually appreciating this.
I love to watch your reactions on indian music 🎶🎵.....
So impressed on your explanations coz indian music is so hard to explain but it's so beautiful❤️
Weleska Indian music isn't a industry , but a way to be part of universe and experience the same within us. Well its little different to you guys as you are new to it but if you want to understand Indian classical music all you have do is expose yourself more to it but to feel it one will learn more by " closing ones eyes and completely dissolve in it " good luck guys .
trust me that's one of the toughest instrument ..to produce sound from fingers ..they really die out in few minutes ..to keep moving those fingers as per wish is really smthing out of this world
The drum on his left is metal body and the one on his right is hollowed wood. The black part is kind of shellac to increase vibrations and I think the skin in both drums is of goat skin.
Wooden batons used on the right hand drum are for tightening the drum to the required tune.
So india, has very old and rich history for all the art forms including music,painting,dance and so many more....in past we had singers like 'TANSEN' who can lit up anything with his songs, who can bring rain with songs
It makes different sounds when applied fource i.e when hit at different parts of the surface of the leather.....it can also be tuened like a guitar to create different range of frequencies..
He is Ustad Zakhir Husain,An absolute genius and gifted musician, pride of India.His father is another genius who played Tabla as well, Zakhir's father Ustad Allah Rakha was his Guru and taught him tabla.Ustad Allah Rakha accompanied sitar player Pandit Ravi Shankar and was largely responsible for introducing Tabla to the western audience.FYI Ustad means Expert
I wish you will listen to veena as well, vaani srivani's breathless & kannanekanne or anything, you will love it for sure😊✌🤞
Hi from Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦
THis is something that you have never ever experienced before that's in your lane, thanks.
Tabla is traditionally a percussion instrument and played as such. The exploration of melody in tabla is a comparatively newer practice, with Ustaadji taking it to the next level in terms of incorporation in tabla playing and expanding the horizons of the instrument. This kind of playing is truly one of a kind! And yes! it has its own language. There's a video by Pt. Sanju Sahai that gives insights into tabla syllables and playing which you can look into.
Tabla is its own language indeed. It is very different from how the west perceives percussion instruments to be like. Every thing that he played can be spoken by anyone in the language. If you get a chance to enjoy a beautiful performance of Kathak, you'll notice how a person speaks the language of tabla which forms the basis of the dance.
The tabla does have its own 'spoken' language. They memorize the melody and then reproduce it through the tabla
There is a teaching video, a german guy(i think) learns his first lesson in tabla.... You will see how the instruments talk.
You have just heard the greatest living exponent of the tabla. The twin instrument can be made to talk with any other instrument: jugalbandi is a good recommendation. Also, the tabla has verbal notations, by which you learn or memorise the rhythmic structure, and through which you begin. Zakir, his classical prowess aside, has blended with musicians from both the Western Classical world and Jazz. He knows percussion sounds even from the deepest part of Africa and, indeed, Latin America. His father always accompanied sitar maestro Ravi Shankar.
He's been the tabla player for one of India's most famous Kathak dancer, Pandit Birju Maharaj.
There's a good chance you will likely be enthralled if you're able to get a hold of a Birju Maharaj performance with either Alla Rakha or Zakir Hussain accompanying on the tabla.
I am laughing the entire time because man they dont have even a slightest idea what they are seeing. They need much more time.
Well I would suggest ask some jazz legends about who and what you have watched. Go ask Carlos Santana who he is and what you have watched.
Hahahahaha best wishes for your future.
Must must must react - "Laal Ishq", "Aayat" and "Binte Dil" by Arijit Singh ❤️❤️❤️
the instrument tabla is made of goat skin on top and layered hardned goat/buffelo skin straps for the tuining strings with a special type of wood.
He is a legend. Watch more of him.
the dark base of tabla is fine powdered iron ore in the leather for a metallic tone.
As a tabla player palying for 6 yrs now i can say he is pretty much every tabpa players guru
He is the greatest exponent of Tabla in the world with the title of "Ustad", which means Teacher. Please check his piece called "Horse Running" and it will blow your socks off!
INDIA is the OG in literally anything so yes latin took it
You don't have any idea that man capable of.. he's is a living legend. It's hard to explain about him, you should explore yourself and find more about him.
His father, Ustaad Alla Rahka, was, by far, the best percussionist that has ever lived (at least IMHO).
Ustaad Zakir Hussain is right behind him, but only by a whisker, again IMHO.
Zakir is a founding member of Planet Drum, along with Mickey Hart of the Grateful Dead.
Zakir is also the founding member of the antecedent of AGAM, a legendary band called Shakti (along with McLaughlin and superstar violinist L. Shankar), and later, as a sessions percussionist with a band called Mahavishnu. Both VERY worthy of being checked out.
Separately, he also creates a lot of fusion music with the legendary John McLaughlin. I was lucky to have a seat on stage at a performance by Zakir, McLaughlin, along with U. Srinivas on the mandolin and Vikku Vinayakam on the Ghatam at Harvard Square in Boston, MA. I got a major kick when McLaughlin asked me to be his "monitor boy", to make sure his monitor was always pointed at him.
If you both are impressed with this than what will happen if you see him playing horse riding tabla and many more , whatever you just see now is just a bit of his finger magic .
This is matero of Tabla and he says he still learning enjoy and have a great time, thanks.
The head is made from goat skin; the back circle is called a gab, iron filings mixed with a paste.
This is just an ordinary performance of him..but he is extraordinary tabla player..watch his other videos
