Indian Video Clips (Youtube)
We recommend that you carefully study appropriate music videos that showcase typical
aspects of a genre, such as techniques, feel and of course the joy and power of
performances. This can really help and guide you when learning an instrument. Pay
close attention to the correct hand positions, as these are as important to percussionists
as the actual mastering of rhythms!
Playing the pakhawaj and the tabla demands high levels of virtuosity. Good technique
is absolutely essential to be able to maintain sound quality and precision at great
speeds. However, it is also a musical genre that keeps on developing and – true
to its transcendental character – is bound to eventually expand into infinity…
The video clips are divided into different categories and there are brief captions
for each video clip about the musicians, places and their work. The clips mainly
feature the playing of the pakhawaj and tabla in India (Click on the pictures or
the titles to get to the video section).
