I heard every top class mridangists of all the generations... but Mani sir always surprises me with his speed, clarity, melody and mathematics... he would have become a great mathematician too had he chosen academic line

The kanda nadai from 6:45 to 8:50 is stunning. What an amazing clarity, speed and precision. Truly a great vidwan.

Electrifying thani from the great master....

What a terrific and brilliant thani! Guru Mani shows that an artist is not just about thorough understanding of laya and the calculations, but also the development and execution. He's a true showman and a stalwart of the highest order.
