👍🏼 very clear explanation, thank you sir for this video ✨✨✨I just wanted to add, that in ThaDhiGiNaThom frase, the "Na" syllable also has a retroflex pronunciation. That I learned from my master Somashekar Jois sir.
thank you for these kevin... ta ka di mi!

Wow…this is a whole new language. You do it so effortlessly. Gosh it’s not easy. I’m glad I came across your videos. I’m new to drumming. I just bought my first frame drum a week ago. Thank you for these lessons.
Hi Nicola! I'm glad you've been enjoying the videos. Congrats on your new frame drum!
Gracias, Ken. Ya sé pronunciar, ahora me falta tocar bien, jajajja. Saludos!
Saludos, Maribel!
Thank you for this series of lessons. Please post more videos about solkattu. For me is not only for learning ryrhm but also a concentration method in a very pleasing way.
I'm so glad you are finding the videos useful! I have more solkattu videos in the works so stay tuned!
So here's a relevant question,,when you make the different sounds does each sound apply to some part of the drum being played, or technique on the drum. For example I take it "thom" means a strike with the thumb on the bass part of the drum. Or "tak" on the rim. Or am I way off base! As a jazz and salsa drummer (40 + years) I plan on incorporating some of the rhythms!
Yes that's right! Each syllable and phrase in solkattu represents a drum stroke and/or pattern on the South Indian drums, mrdangam and kanjira.
@@kenshorley Ok, cool. So I guess I will pick it up as I watch more of your videos. Also I picked up a book called Solkatu Manual by David Nelson as I was unable to get your teacher's book until maybe March. I also ordered a Roosebeck 14 inch Tar which looked like it got good reviews. It has a cedar frame and is tune-able, as opposed to my remo. Thanks again!
Is there a book or manual you would recommend for this?
My guru, Professor Trichy Sankaran has a wonderful book with audio examples entitled The Art of Konnakkol.
@@kenshorley Hard to find book! Went to his website and it said send an email,,, so I did that! Thanks!
