5.0 out of 5 stars Interesting Cdrom, March 1, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Tabla Vol.1-A Journey Into Eastern Percussion (CD-ROM)

I have been a fan of the tabla for quite a while now, ever since I caught the illustrious father - son duo Allah Rakha & Zakir Hussain over 10 years ago. The instrument is amazing and the sounds it can produce are astonishing. So, when I saw this product at amazon, I decided to have a look. Installation is straight forward, allthough be aware you have to have Quicktime installed in order to see the videos. If you do not have Quicktime, it is provided on the disc itself. There is a lot of material here and is a rather exhaustive work. Its really meant as an introduction. You can learn the syllables and some popular rhythmic cycles and a detailed history, learning traditions and theoretical knowledge. The musicians are all great and it comes with an additional Audio CD with the package which very good. The most entertaining part of the cdrom is that it showcases hours of audio and video highlighting tabla in various capqacities.Those of you interested in Tabla, should definately buy this product and dont worry if you have no knowledge of the instrument, its meant for all levels.
