Learn Instrumental Music with Free Lessons & Tips

Tabla is one of the most popular musical instruments in India. Tabla is often used in Hindustani Classical Music. The soft, light, thumping and vibrating sounds of Tabla is the only factor that it is so lovable and appears to be most peaceful to me.

That’s why, suggesting some songs that have peaceful tabla beats that you would like to listen if you want to,

1. Ye jo desh hai tera (Instrumental)…. Awesome combination or (I should say) brilliant jugalbandi of shehnai and tabla.
2. Jhoom … featured artist: Ali Zafar
3. Baanwra Mann…. from movie Hazaaron Khwaishein Aisi
4. Aye Hairathe Aashiqui….from movie Guru, Singer: A.R. Rehman (Awesome)
5. Jiya Dhadak Dhadak Jaye…. from movie Kalyug
6. Ki banu Duniya Da…. Coke Studio, In case if you want an example of how tabla can make a dancing song really awesome.
7. Tera cehra jab nazar aye….from movie sanam teri kasam (I think most of you know….anyways)
8. Dil Diyan galla and Tu jaane na …..of atif aslam is also a best option for tabla songs

The term is derived from the Hindi word padhna, meaning "to read, study or recite". Padhant is closely associated with the percussion instrument tabla and the classical dance Kathak, and the recitation of rhythmic patterns before playing them is considered an art in itself.

Regardless of your decision, dedication, practice, and guidance from a skilled teacher are essential for progressing in your tabla journey.

Goat or cow leather and buffalo leather are used as membranes.

“The goat skin stretched across both the drums is made of multiple membranes, one full and the other on the periphery of the full skin called kinara or chanti. This parchment, called pudi or chhavani, is tied to a plaited strip called gajra. Gajra is made by joining four or five leather braces made of goat or cow skin. Gajra is fixed to the mouth of the drum by means of leather braces called baddhi, made of buffalo skin.”
