Thank you for the video! It's very useful for musicians, and cool!!
Glad you liked it! Please share ua-cam.com/users/letslearnmrudanga with your fellow musicians. Also let me know any other doubt you make get with Indian percussion music.
@@letslearnmrudanga Sure! Thanks! And may you tell me, please, the Dhol is large, the Dholak is medium, the Dholki is small, that's right? They're have a difference for size only?
@@Serge_Korr_Music Yes Your are almost there:-
Dhol/DoL'L'u :- Is always larger (drumheads are equal/almost equal size) . Tied with rope and wore like a garland. Mostly works as Bass/Base drum for the dance/group song because of loud sound.
Dholak:- Most widely used. It's a handy smaller size for folk & bhajan(devotional) songs, fusion. one drumhead is mostly for bass/base sound and the other (main head/ smaller head) for improvisations. Ref:- en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dholak
Ref:-
Dhol:- en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dhol
Dholki:- some people use Dholak & Dholki terms interchangeably. But there is an elongated version that looks similar to mrudanga (mridang) in shape and even has black paste(karane')but not as matured/advanced as mrudanga because it has a single layer of leather(goat's skin if I am not wrong).
@@letslearnmrudanga Thank you so much!! Now I understand and know about ones!!
@@Serge_Korr_Music One more important aspect I wanted you to know is about the Thala/Taal/Thalam the interesting concepts of 'Rhythmic Cycles/patterns for any percussionist/music composers Indian/western /others to learn. Something like ua-cam.com/video/Pt80T3gQ4NI/v-deo.html I will introduce much more such cyclic patterns soon.
Wow the vegan mridangam is super cool! Very nice to have this instrument without any animal skin
Dear Sir
Your teaching is so good. Wanted to create interest in my grandson li (just 11 months old) ving in Canada. Today he was seeing with awe your three basic lessons in U tube. Thanks a lot. You are so down to earth that any layman would get interested in learning Mridanga 🙏
Thank you Sir. I am very glad to know that and to see your comments Sir🙏
Wow! this was an eye opener for me! even I have learnt Carnatic vocal briefly and love listening to it for years, this was much needed information on Mridangam. Very well articulated and explained, Thank you !
I'm Glad it was helpful!
There's another Mridangam called 3PM (3 Part Mridangam) designed, conceptualized and invented by Vidwan Sri Ravindra Bharathy Sridharan, Founder Director Nadhopasana Academy of Fine Arts, Cupertino , California...
Kuchi mridangam rocks !!!
Thanks for expressing your views

Despite the various advantages the modern mridangams have, i find the sound quality in the traditional one to be the best. Old is gold indeed
yes & No. I also want to reduce buying leather+wood instruments for people who just try and leave it. Even for beginners. Once you learn to some extent and if one really think it's needed; can buy traditional one . that's my take (after seeing what people do nowadays.
@@letslearnmrudanga 👍👍spot on 🙏🙏🙂
Thank you Sir for your clear explanation! I am considering purchasing either a mridangam or a pakhawaj and this has been most helpful!
Please share the video channel ua-cam.com/users/letslearnmrudanga with your contacts 🙏
Wow,
Sir Prasad ji ,
I have not seen any UA-cam channel answering all the comments, including seeing a reply to "hi". .......Amazing..
I am new to all these musical world.
All I wanted to enjoy the Carnatic music, like when I hear a song I wanted to enjoy the ragas and Thala of the music or at least the "swarathanas" of each word or letter. Failed miserably. I thought since I don't know the basics of Carnatic music and tried to learn the vocal part and failed. Basically any song is heard, I don't know which is the "swaram" of each word of the song is sung.
( probably I may not be fit to enjoy Carnatic music)
Then I started picking particular raga alone and hear those songs in those ragas. I picked Abheri and ahiri as they are easy to recognize. I could relate "Nagumo" and "panimithi mukhi bale" to some songs of these ragas. But my attempt failed as there are so many ragas so even musicians get confused.
Finally and finally I realized that at least I have to learn the Thala part of it. When I do some Thala with the song, if I don't look at the "vidwan", then I could never sync my Thala with him. Which made me reach here. I don't have a career in this as I am over 60 years. But don't mind putting a little effort in enjoying Thala at least.
Will it be foolish to at this age?
Waiting for your valuable comment on this. ( I am doing "Tha, thi, thom num" on table top with respective hands for your lessons 1,2,3,4.)

Vijay(liamgetep@gmail.com)
Note: anyway I will give one more try... metronome is installed in my phone as a last try. then I saw your channel. And thanks to your videos and effort. It may be useful to some guys who has music in them.
Namasthe Sir
I am so glad to see you had taken time to see my videos and to put detailed comments.
Age is just a number sir, what we need is patience to try number to times. If small kids grasp or learn with 1 or 2 try, we may take 10-20 times, that's ok.
I am happy that my videos are of some help to others.

Super
Please share the video channel ua-cam.com/users/letslearnmrudanga with your contacts 🙏
Sir which is the best mridanga for learner..and also plaese suugest me in sound clarity and traditional which is the best i have to buy
Namasthe. I would encourage SRI mridangam for all the learners as you don't have to worry about other aspects. karunyamusicals.com/product/mru-s-r-i-c/ this would be the best choice. Many of the artists like me are using it for kacheri as well.
Would be nice to know from the player in this video, himself if the Synthetic mridunga is as good as the real mridunga. ?
Namaste,
Thanks for your comments and I hope you have subscribed and shared the video.
Firstly the Synthetic mrudanga is also a real one and not a toy. In fact karunyamusicals SRI Mridangam is used world wide for concerts as well. It is good and will match leather n wood mrudanga in most aspect. Only one thing I noticed is the karane part in traditional mrudanga has more deeper sound because leather is much thicker compared to synthetic membrane.
Hope it answered your question.
Regards,
Esha Prasad
@@letslearnmrudanga This is exactly the information I was looking for. Thank you !
Nut and Bolt Mridanga ji. Which i was recently brought it.
Good for you 👍
Sir do you have a video on how to tune the mridhangam in a proper manner?
Namasthe. I will plan to record one
@@letslearnmrudanga Thank you sir...
Thank u sir,expect the difference in the price also
Price depends on where we buy from, place/maker/seller /showroom
sir loved your video...love from kolkata
....i personally think the traditional is the best...and the synthetic one is not as good..
Dhanyawad🙏
Hope you have subscribed 🙂 Please continue watching the videos and share channel ua-cam.com/users/letslearnmrudanga with all you friends / contacts. Feel free to share your thought/suggestion.
As we consider our music to be Devine (always inclined towards adhyathma sadhana & bhakthi) if it is possible to switch to synthetic mrudanga for practice and for regular concerts we can save trees and animals 🙂 gain some punya 🙂
In fact the same company (karunya musicals ) have started manufacturing Khol (madhura)Mrudanga, MaddaLe, Tabla, Dhol and improved mrudanga as well.

Esha Prasad
Sri gurubhyo naham
The moment i heard you said Sri Mridinga , i was crying as it has no animals
🙏
@@letslearnmrudanga Guru garu there are 3 types in karunyamusicals. , male pitch , female pitch and kids one , i am a beginner or no wise , which one should i buy ? which would will have low pitch ?
@@GPS379male pitch mrudanga is used to accompany male singers & for lower pitch. Instruments. And likewise is for female pitch mrudanga for ladies and kids (singers) accompaniment. I would suggest G pitch (female pitch) mrudanga to begin with.
@@letslearnmrudanga 🙏 just contacted Varadarangan guru garu , he suggested the same ordering one tomorrow
His instrument needs more recognition actually
Hare Krishna prbhu ji. Meine kal e ek Mridang lia hai . Ghr vale kehre hai. Vo nahi hai . Mrodang ek side se chota hota hai.. pr vo dholk ki trah dikhta hai . Plz help . Reply asap..
Namasthe ji, apne kahaa se mrudang liya mujhe pathaa nahi. dikhne me dolki aur mridang mEl khathe hai. mere students ko mE' karunyamusicals.com/product/mru-s-r-i-g/ recommend karthaa hoon'.
Traditional mridangam
Please share the video channel ua-cam.com/users/letslearnmrudanga with your contacts 🙏
Kaddi mrudanga...
please mention the price and place where to buy it...and contact number....
Namasthe andi, I have bought SRI Mridangams for myself and all my students here. I directly bought it from karunyamusicals.com/product/mru-s-r-i-g/ as it requires no maintenance and no leather used. If you wish to buy leather mrudangam I would recommend nut & bolt mrudangam /kuchchi mrudangam in near by music shop or mridangam makers in Hyderabad area.
Tilak mridangam. The one used by the Hare Krishnas
That's called Khol/Khol mrudang. Of which I have made a mention in first video"what is mrudanga". please watch
I would like to but SRI Mrudanga. Where is it available in Bangalore.
Namasthe, you can contact karunyamusicals.com/ They are in Indiranagar, Bangalore
I don't know but want to buy one and learn. I am in Bangalore can u help with.
Namsthe
There are lots of great Vidwaans in Bangalore. One such is Vidwaan. Srinivas Murthy ji who is a very good teacher. Please contact him. He will guide you.
Soon I am planning to record lessons from the beginning.
Regards,
Esha Prasad
brother nice introduce.
Thanks for the visit 🙂🙏
Wow Guru where do I purchase the SRI Mirdhunga?
I bought it from karunyamusicals.com/product/mru-s-r-i-g/
Sir plzz tell what is female & male mridhangam i have no idea about this
Namaste 🙏, mrudangas are made in different sizes to sound at higher pitches and lower pitches. Higher pitched instruments are usually shrill in sound suitable for female singers (And kid) and lower pitches for male singers. Usually Middle rage for instruments like Veena violin flute.
Sir. Which mridanga is good for bharatnatyam .and I want to bye that.plz
Namasthe, I am glad to see your comments. Usually for the Bharathanatya rangapravesha (arrangetrum) the mrudangist will get their own mrudangam of their choice(now a days, nut and bolt). But, for the practicing if you want to keep one for yourself you could think of maintenance free option of SRI Mridangam. Please share the channel link with the students. In the near future I am planning to address different thalas, Some of the samskrutham & other paribhashika shabdhas in my videos.
But which is best? Sir
I would prefer SRI mridangam the synthetic one once I got used to it I would feel regular leather ones are tough to maintain.
if one is in learning phase. If you are in need of in specific need for concert then I would recommend different ones. Say for higher scale regular stick/twig mrudanga.
For lower scale nut and bolt mrudanga.
Where do we get Sri mrudhangam
I buy SRI Mrudangam from karunyamusicals.com/
hello sir, i'm from malaysia and i would like to buy and learn mridunga. can you recommend any shop which available overseas shipping which they can ship to malaysia? and which mridunga you recommend for a beginner like me? thanks in advanced.
Namasthe, I buy SRI Mrudangam from karunyamusicals.com/ they ship overseas. You can contact them.

@@letslearnmrudanga sure sir, I'll share it with my friends.. thank you for the awesome videos... can't wait to get my mridunga and learn.. 🙏
Did u manage to get 1?
I would like to buy the SRI Mrudanga
Namasthe, you can contact karunyamusicals.com/ Even I bought from them😊
what is the cost of SRI mridangam 24 inches one
Namasthe, I buy SRI Mrudangam from karunyamusicals.com/ Here is the direct link for C pitch mrudanga which costs around Rs.12500 karunyamusicals.com/product/mru-s-r-i-c/
Mridanga means a body made of sand(mitti).Than how these can be mridanga?
Not sand. It's clay. You are right in the initial days , hundreds of years ago; mrudanga s body was made of clay( mruth= mitti) I have explained in What is mrudanga ' the first video. please watch
Nut and Bolt
Please share the video channel ua-cam.com/users/letslearnmrudanga with your contacts 🙏
You did not play the kappi mridangam
You are right. I don't have one 😊
I think s.r.i mridangam is the best one too be used as the expression of Maa saraswati....after all knowledge (maa.. saraswati) it self is against the cruelty ,then why we are practicing it through cruelty
Very well said 🙏 Thanks for the comments . Please share the videos so that others also make there mind to avoid leather & wood.
Dear sir If wood can be used for Housing purposes and animal meat is used for consumption purposes then nothing wrong in using wood for mridangam and animal skin for the sides. More animals are killed for consumption everyday than for using in mridangam. Please talk abt animal cruelty where it is relevant. As such the number of mridangists using animal hides is very very negligible and it could be 1 or 2% only. As a professional over 40 years of experience and having played other types of mridangams (invluding SRI) I can authoritatively say that no mridangam maker has come anywhere near the original tone produced by Wood and animal hides. Hope you understand sir. The weight of the mridangam has a direct influence on its tone and by reducing its weight and using synthetic materials we are compromising somewhere on the tone and tenor.
Fiber glass, Glass ...
Yes sir. technically it's 'Fiber Glass' as I learnt from the inventor /maker #Dr.Varadarangan sir (www.karunyamusicals.com)
You missed khol mrudanga played in odissa and Bengal in kirtan.
Namaste. I had made a mention of that in first video 'what is mrudanga' itself👍
Orginal is orginal ❤️
🙏you are right but just for the sake of our passion now many people don' t want to cause any harm to animals , so only synthetic instruments have come.
Hlo sir
Hello Darshan
there is a gudia murganga
Interesting. Thanks for letting me know
Cow skin is prohibited .
As far as possible I am promoting synthetic with no leather/wood 🙏
Kaddi is the proper mrundangam. Rest are just instruments.
Thank you for expressing your view. Please watch all the videos share your views and suggestions 🙏
Very well explained. Thank you Sir. After a break of 20years, I started learning Mridangam. For practice I have been advised to get a nut and bolt Mridangam panchamam shruti. Sir could you please guide/recommend me if it is the right choice. Thank you
That's a good choice. All the best
I order synthetic mrudangams on www.karunyamusicals.com
