I love drums. I love making beats, I love watching a person add spice with the snares or with symbols. I have recently began learning tabla, which is a two peice Indian instrument (a drum, duh) played with by the hands. The bigger drum is called either a baayan or dagga and the smaller one is called the tabla. Anyway to get you give you an idea how fun of an instrument this is, please watch this video by Zakhir Hussein, perhaps one of the greatest tabla players in the world!

Zakhir is the guy wearing the white and is in the middle. I don't know the other tabla player (his name is mentioned somewhere in the middle). If you don't like the violin-like instrument being played (I don't know what it's called, but it's a nice instrument too) just forward 3 minutes into the video where Zakhir really shows why he is one of the greats. Tabla is a very soothing instrument. Hope you guys like it.
