### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Shanti boys n' girls
*by A***R on March 14, 2016*

my new tablas are somewhere out the the high seas. while I'm waiting for them to arrive I bought this dvd. it got here like rocket fast. it's for intermediate thru expert and there's nothing about how to tune them or maintain them. but it's a very good teaching tool if you're drumming inclined. the teacher is a very fine young Indian (?) gentleman who has a vocal language that describes each set of rythems. he gets to hyper-speed as he mouths out the sounds! well I'm not young and don't plan to play that fast or necessarily mouth out anything but I learned a lot and plan to re-watch it. meantime I found a place in Santa Cruz, Ca called the Drum Doctor who repairs and fine tunes tablas. I guess they have to be very finely tuned and I'm not sure how. peace..

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Five Stars

A+++!!!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Not for a beginner.
*by L***N on May 29, 2013*

This DVD teaches alot of advanced patterns. Great DVD for someone who already has the basics down. It was still interesting to watch and dream to obtain that skill level.
