Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Tabla finger exercises
Thanks Curtis. I've got a small clay doumbek too, but it only sounds good inside here in south Florida because of all the humidity. Unlike a djembe, there's no way to tighten a natural head on a doumbek. I mostly use an Alexandrian, synthetic head doumbek. --- curtisdeltablues [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hey Peter, Check out this guy who is the finger exercise guru. http://www.handhealth.com/ I have his tape and it really it great.

[FairfieldLife] Re: Tabla finger exercises
Peter, I have a synthetic head on mine too. I only use it as a small drum to jam with friends inside so I never noticed the limitation with the lack of tuning. I love the sound when you put your hand inside the drum and pull it out as you strike it. Booowwwooomp! A little like the big tabla drum.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Tabla finger exercises
Doumbeks are pretty cool drums. I started hand
drumming on a medium sized djembe. It was cool to
listen to and learn African polyrhythms (3 against 2,
baby!). Then I bought a doumbek and realized that that
was my drum. I've taken lesson on and off from a local
professional doumbek player for about a year. Two
weekends ago I went up to Melbourne, Florida for a
great workshop with Raquy Danziger who is an amazing
player (www.raquy.com). It's interersting how
traditional doumbek rhythms have no polyrhythms. But
most contemporary players integrate them.

Rick,
Does your tabla teacher have you doing
finger
exercises to strengthen your fingers? I'm
curious
because as I get better on the doumbek I
notice
that
my finger rolls, with some fingers, are a

lame
and

-Peter
No exercises independent of the tabla. But
there
are
basic simple tabla
rhythms that should be practiced
repetitively to
build strength and
technique.

Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com ...don't know if this will interest you but around 1969 when I was about 14 my brother took me to see Ravi Shankar and his tabla player (and a woman playing another instrument) in Montreal's Place des Arts. The thing I remember about the performance was that in the middle of it Shankar gave a 15-minute lecture about the 3 instruments and he did it all in fluent French.
