WHY TABLA ? WHY NOT ANY OTHER INSTRUMENT? WHY NOT THE ELECTRIFYING GUITAR OR KEYBOARD ?

It is because it is an Indian Instrument which holds an distinct name and position in Indian Music. The  grammy award winners from India are mostly classical musicians ,such as the great Pandit Ravi Shankar,Ustad Zakir Hussain etc. On basing that ,tabla is the reincarnation of Pakhawaj where the instrument has been divided into two parts to be known and recognized as tabla. Samaveda contains the importance of Nada or Sound where it has been clearly given about the significance of Indian Drumming,similar to meditation this art has become a reputed one in countries abroad.
