In this episode, Dhruv and Siddhant make up team tabla, while Rithvik and Sriramanan (Sri, for short) pair up for the mridangam.
Both ancient hand drums are rooted in Indian culture but what is the difference and why does it matter? Four mini gurus will take you through the drums’ distinct folk origins, and explain the differences between both drums. For instance, these drums actually represent two main schools of Indian classical music: the tabla for the Hindustani style of the North, the mridangam for the Carnatic music of the South. They will demystify the techniques they use, show you the basics and clear some of those misconceptions before ending with a short demonstration—all without missing a beat.
