- A deeper look at Tabla drumming and Indian Music with award-winning musician Kuljit Bhamra.
The smaller tabla is usually tuned to a particular note depending upon the scale of the melodic instrument. However, once tuned it has two notes!
A light-hearted but informative series looking deeper at the tabla drum.

Very interesting not only for Tabla but for any musician and of course especially those interested in Indian music!
Have been listening to tabla in classical and semi classical as well as pop music for years and never knew this. Hope someone can start a dedicated tabla tutorial series where such things are explained. For amateur musicians like myself, it would be a big help too.
Thank you. Yes, it was surprising for me also when I noticed it after having played professionally for over 20 years! These sorts of things only become apparent when performing 'out of genre'. Kuljit
Good info & good fun. Thank you
Excellent everything dear
Once, I met a tabla which was almost completely hollow instead of the usual half-hollowed one. Interestingly, the tun bol played on such an unusual tabla produced a note close to komal re.
thanks for the videos ! very helpful and clearly you invested time and effort making those
thank you for your kind comments and your interest.
So tabla players can play the riff to You Really Got Me by The Kinks !
Very new & interesting
Very new & intresting.
This is certainly an interesting fact. But this is by no means anything new. I think the reason it may not be spoken about so much is that it's just not really viewed as that much of a significant thing. And in regards to the clashing of tones, because in Indian classical concerts there's so much variety of tone and intonation, small things like the tone of the "Tun" on the tabla often gets lost in the background, therefore not really affective the music being performed. Now obviously if someone is performing a Raag that say doesn't have 'Shuddha Rishab' and then the tabla player is constantly playing 'Tun' all the time then there is a risk of clashing, but I mean it's very rare to find a tabla player playing in that fashion and very unlikely to happen under normal circumstances.
I guess it's not new - otherwise, he'd be talking about inventing the tabla hammer!
New to me, though. And very interesting.
fun times, I heard a very strong re in a video by Zakir hussian recently. Years ago, I remember hearing a clean ga coming from the tabla in one of Kishori Amonkar recordings (but then one hears a Ga in bathroom fans and beard trimmers too so not sure if this is to do with a particular stroke on the tabla).
Tussi great ho prahji
Hello there! As You mentioned that if the Tabla is tuned in (Sa) then the open sound must be (Re), which is only one note higher. Please Correct me if I am wrong, I think the open sound is two notes higher in pitch, let suppose you tuned it on C(major), the open sound wouldn't be C(#) or D(b) but it would be D(major).
Hello! Yes, you are right - it's two semitones higher (=one whole note). It depends on whether you refer to your Re as komal (flat) or natural (shud). Thank you for commenting
How strange to find this video today as today I discovered this very thing today. Mine is a semitone higher. Mabye there is a correlation based on the diameter of the tabla and the diameter and thickness of the Syahi?
Ah. That's very interesting. Yes, you're probably right - the thickness of the Syahi may contribute to the number of overtones/ harmonics in the open sound, thus affecting the dominant pitch. Thanks for sharing.
I have tabla in d scale it can go till f
depends on the diameter and thickness of the black spot. I wouldn't try it myself to be honest. How many straps are there on the gatta at the moment?
Intresting
Tenía un parche y el Tabla afinaba en Si b y en Tu en Do. Cambié ese parche y ahora lo afino en Do pero el Tun suena en Mi b. Sólo he visto un Tabla que el Tun está un tono y medio más alto que el Na (un Dayan de Zakir Hussain) Puedes decirme a qué se debe eso ? Gracias
i was shocked
Very new intresting kimmo ji
Thank you Usha Ji !
Which Dibi tabla gives better sound ...made of clay or Steel or copper?
I prefer cooper Bayan, because the extra weight projects the sound better.. Clay is also good, but fragile - and many steel are good too.. but mild steel rusts after a time. The sounds are all different. I wouldn't say that anyone is better than the other. Thanks. Kuljit
that is a lot of tablas
Do you delete video about why shiyahi on dayan is not on the center? Can't find it anymore
