Overview
A practice room without a live tabla player is where this digital instrument fits. It plays sampled tabla sound with common taals built in, and it stores pitch, tempo and bayan changes in memory.
The reason to consider it is the control set: tunable pitch, tempo ranges, editable taals and programmable thekas in a small unit that ships with a cord and bag. The limitation is that it is a sampler, not a pair of drums played with the hands, and its power source is not described.
Who it's for
Vocalists and instrumentalists who practice against a taal backing will use the stored thekas and tempo ranges. Percussionists who want to strike real skin heads should look at an acoustic set instead.
Pros and cons
- Sampled natural tabla sound
- Many common taals built in
- Digital pitch tuning
- Stores pitch, tempo and bayan settings
- Power requirements not listed
- Not played with the hands on skin
- Output limited to a jack connection
Performance notes
A sampler plays recorded tabla strokes, so the sound is consistent from note to note and tuning is digital instead of mechanical. Tempo can be raised gradually without stopping the theka, and stored memory restores the pitch, tempo and bayan settings. The bayan setting shifts the left hand sound between a deep and a shallow gumki.
