The Language of Rhythm
2 CD box set features drumming from North & South India
For percussion fans, here's a special treat. Two definitive Indian drumming CDs in an attractive box set at a great price. Trichy Sankaran is one of the world's best drummers from South India. From his mrdangam (double headed barrel drum) and kanjira (lizard skin tambourine) he is able to extract incredible textures and rhythms. Bikram Ghosh hails from a strong lineage of masters of the tabla, the most popular North Indian drums. His fast and clean playing, as well as his knowledge of North Indian rhythms have made him the regular accompanist for the famed Ravi Shankar. The set comes with two full-length CDs (Laya Vinyas and Talking Tabla), and a special book with detailed information on the instruments including construction, playing techniques, and evolution of drumming on the Indian subcontinent.
