4.0 out of 5 stars a passionate, innovative and articulate journey into Indian rhythm, July 17, 2006

"Zakir Hussain & The Rhythm Experience" is a great World Music album with a focus on Indian percussion. This will resonate with those familiar with Mickey Hart's percussive saga. Zakir Hussain seems to have learned well from his time in Hart's Diga Rhythm Band. In many respects, this could be a more authentic sequel to "Diga." More authentic yes, but this is not for the purists. If the listener seeks true authenticity, go with Mahaprush Misra or Bhai Gaitonde; this is World Music. The album features a variety of musical styles including Classical Indian, Jazz, World and even Pop. While a few moments have a cheesy 1980's sounding production, it's minor enough to not spoil the experience as a whole. The percussion and improvisation is spellbinding. This is an essential recording for enthusiasts of the tablas. "Zakir Hussain & The Rhythm Experience" is a passionate, innovative and articulate journey into Indian drumming.

I owned this album as a kid in the late 90s. It was my first introduction to tabla and the master Zakir Hussain. I would recommend this album to anyone that is interested in hand drumming of any kind especially tabla.

There is a nice mix of different percussion styles, that achieve a unique sound when in combination. Relaxing.
