> So now, I don't like listening to some of the super fast rough styles that some players have. Completely agree with you on this point. I find that there are very few players that I actually enjoy listening to. Many players rush their playing and don't follow a clear rhythm or sound clear notes. Tabla is such a difficult instrument to play properly. Seems like it really takes a life time to become a good player. Sort of heart breaking since American life makes it hard to bring that kind of devotion to art (not if you want to be financially secure anyway).
