    I lugged a mridangam around India for 6 months, and everywhere I went people would say, "you'll never be able to play that!...tabla is one thing...a mridangam is totally another!" Well...many years later...it sits on my staircase, a remnant of my dreams to play my beloved mridangam. Not played...but dusted regularly, and enjoyed as a memory of my time in India...so they were right I guess!! I still adore the sound of the mridangam...and Carnatic music still lifts my heart...So enormous respect to Indian musicians especially mridangam players from me here in the UK.

      South Indian music is mathematical n presentation, but north Indian is merely presentation less computation..... correct if I'm mistake..... I m not from India but do appreciate their music , carnatic music n western music

      @@srajan5286 ignorance at its finest. Both are mathematical. North India you'll find a lot of micro-beat repertoire. Someone like Ustad Zakir Hussain is a mathematical genius.

    My god what an expertise in such a young age. I just skipped learning this instrument in 7 years as my fingers were paining,but now i understand what a big mistake i have committed by not taking hard work. Really miss mridangam and it is so dynamic instrument. Connected to sole i think.. Now learning Santoor and Flute with Hindustani Vocal. Indian music is very unique..!! Love you Rohan.. Such a talented you are..!!

    @worlddominator62 16 лет назад

    Whoa calm down there umeshway, I didn't mean that he created the first mridangam ever played, but he created the new style that he's playing with in this video. When the mridangam was first played, people suspect it was made out of clay or mud, while now it is made out of jackfruit, so whoever first thought of making the mridangam out of wood, and the karani out of sadham and each other parts out of leather, I wold say he "made" that style, because he as the first to think of it, and employ it.

    Actually mridangam was used on whole India in ancient times .. undoubtedly it's not used in hindustani music but when it comes to religious ceremonies Mridangam is played whether it's northern part or southern part of India ... And there are other instrument which are not in Hindustani style of music but indeed are very essential in religious ceremonies of whole india ( eg. Sitar , ghatam , mridangam , pakhawaj )

    People need to calm down about this, I doubt Rohan calls him self the "Mridangam Master", I'm sure people came up to him and asked him to make the documentary, he goes to Kalamazoo College in Michigan (U.S), where this is a new and unique thing, he has taught many kids there very well from what I've heard, and to them, he is considered a "master", notice he didn't post this video, yet someone from his school did
