one word: Invincible! I have never seen anything like this before.. I didn't just watch a video of 2.36 minutes, but one of 16 hours, each of those consistent 9 years.. Huge respect, sir.. _/\_ Thanks for uploading this miracle.
He is the one and only person i listen to and i keep his photo in front of me when i play tabla.I dont even feel good enough to say i 'play tabla'....NOT a single person other than him will ever reach where he has reached....NOT even one....I feel very sad that i was not even born when he performed....

Someone will be blessed to discover this video on RUclips. The Tabla clarity is so noticeable and the bols sound so contemporary although, the video is from 30's. This was the magic of Ustadji. Thank you for uploading.
Mai bahut proud mahsoos kr raha hoon ki mere RUclips ke suggestions ne aise beshkimti video suggest Kiye Mai mehsoos kar sakta hoon ki kaisa hota hoga laxnau Delhi or gwalior ka darbar kaise kiya Tansen gaate honge🙏🙏🙏
Khansaheb has brought about the salient nuances of almost all gharanas in this short little clip in impeccable harmony. In just a matter of minutes, these maestros unfolded every bit of their wonderful music. It was like a magic trick performed in a flash! That is really mastery.
when i started to view this, i thought, chalo old vdeo..etc etc..but wait a min...i never heard anything like this before!! thanks to youtube, and the person who shared this video! heaven on earth!
Ustad Ahmedjan Thirakwa is the Lord of Tabla ( Shiva of Tabla) , all modern players are just trying to take wah wah, having very long curly hair and playing some dhirrrrrr dhirrrrr, , phirrrr, pharrrrr, phurrrr, . They do not have the tone, nor can produce the tone. ( Tone needs to be embedded in the mind ). Remember, Swar is the the soul of any Music. Appreciate players like Ustad Nizamuddin Khan, Ustad Karamatullah Khan, Ustad Latif Ahmed Khan ( Khalifa Of Tite), Ustad Amir Hussain Khan, Pandit Anokhe Lal Ji ( King Of Na Dhin Dhin Na), Of the modern players, Pandit Nayan Ghosh ji is just superb, Plays Tabla with the real artistry, plays Tabla & Sitar with the same authority. He has Swar in his play and plays as per the Old school. Also to mention about Pandit Swapan Chaudhury ( Art paar excellence, Kind Of Dhirr Dhirr). Pandit Anindo Chatterjee is just awesome ( He's a Man Machine). I am also a Gr8 fan of Ustad Zakir Hussain Saab,( King Of laykari), however feel his offlate playing is getting westernized & loosing the touch. Being a true lover of Tabla & music, I am expressing my views with a very open mind( Do not intend to offend anyone). All the names, I mentioned R Living Legends ( Icons) ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Last but not the least, A gr8 fan of Ustad Tari Khan Saab, His tabla tone is just impeccable, His spontaneous accompaniement for Gazal is just as mesmerising like Ustad Zakir Hussain for Tabla Solo, kathhak and Instrumental sangat. Also Tal Yogi Suresh Talwalkar ji & some astonishing Names like Pandit Kumar Bose, U all R living legends & I bow to all the legends,,,,. ....................Saab Ustadonkon ko koti koti Pranam,,,,,,,, just a small Prayer to all the living legends,,,,,, instead of going for speed, May U all Ustads & Pandits come together & create some Shisyas to take care of the Old heritage,,,,,, Swar, Naad & Nikaas,,,, The Relas, The Gats, The Parans with the traditional touch & Nikaas..... let the divine Tabla of our great ancestor Ustads live and continue
1936. the poorest quality of video and sound. and still...just experience the magic...that's truly beyond this world. God cannot be everywhere that's why he sends people like AJT on earth and shows His TRUE Power. 'Incredible' world falls short of its meaning before AJT...
They are not his own compositions and neither are they gats. He starts with short peshkar and then moves into an Ajrada kaida,following that moves into rela.Seems like you don’t know much about tabla.
@@shivabreathesplz can u give bols from 0:38 to 0:45, the fast part which comes after the peshkar? I know this a famous farrukhbad kaida but i am unable to find the bols in double speed 😢
This is absolutely amazing to see him performing on tabla. Completely mind blowing. This is pure epicness. Thank you from the depths of my heart for such a marvelous uploads. What a treasure !!!
I don't know if Ustadji has a microphone or not, but I notice these recordings are unfathomably clear (even if there isn't a microphone). It is quite amazing!
Gursimran sing ji apko mera Namshkar ..... zakir usen ji ki me bohot respect krta hu unhone tabla bajane ke new style invent kiye jo bohot logo ke kaam aya movies or clasical me ...but Ehmad jaan thirakva ji 100 yers pehle hi vo sabkuch krchuke jo in 40 ,30 years me tabla artist krne ki koshish kr chuke he.. for example .....zakir husen ji ki kitni bandish he jo Ehmad jaan ji ke 100,70 years pehle ki recording me miljaigi ..
I especially admire his composure. Its not that he doesn't play with passion, its with respect and grace. Today's musicians do it for the audience mainly.
Well put. The current trend is due to the general ignorance and weakness in mindset of both audiences and ‘top’ classical musicians today. Hopefully as the next generation of musicians’ confidence grows this kind grace and composure will be respected and sought after again.
actualy sabhi ka equaly yogdaan he tabla ko mahan banane me .... hamari itni hesiyat ya kabiliyat nahi ke kici ko mahan ya kici ko kazor samjhe ... sabhi mahan he ....sabhi ka barar yogdaan rara
i actually heard in one of his interviews that the chilla was more like 18-20hrs/ day and i remember he said "Athharaa(18), bees(20), is may koi fark he nahi thaa"
if you mean the syahi then you are gravely mistaken my friend... the tabla is nothing without it and your first lesson will be kinnar and syahi bol... However, Farukhabad Gharana is known for its fast Tirakit and Dhere Dhere (done on the 'black spot' with the palm) styles, so he has mastered it in his own right. Even I can play on the 'black spot' and I suppose most other students of other gharanas can play Tirekit bols after 2 years.
His majestic and breathtaking style has influenced God knows how many Tabla players. He is still a icon among musicians and music lovers of all ages.

Realy old is gold koi shabd nahi wahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
One of the greatest tabla players ... ever. Even Zakir-bhai, whose father Ustad Alla Rakha is a legend, went and learned from Thirakwa Khan Sahib.
dilhi gharana sabse pehla gharana he ...jiske vansaj he Ehmad jaan ji ...delhi gharane bandish sabhi gharane ne apnai .

Absolutely Out Of This World... Loads Of Praises....
Ustad Ahmadjaan Thirakwa and Ustad Habibuddin Khan saheb were the two heavyweights of tabla of their time. Very rare video. Thank tou past594.

His Tirkit remains unmatcheď.
this is truly a priceless treasure. This level of dexterity, poetry and aesthetics is unparalled.

Parimal Pasarnikar phir phar phur lol
really sir
you said true
Parimal Pasarnikar You have forgotten the Ustad Habibuddin khan sahib
i think he is above than all
he plays where

What about Samta Prasad And Allarakha sab
Pt Subhash Nirwan, Delhi gharana
Ustadji no words no comments....only NAMAN👃👃👃
Man gaye ustad❤❤
These are legends who cannot be replaceable. Thanks for sharing this amazing video.
amazing! interesting how older tablas resembled more like a pakawaj
1936. the poorest quality of video and sound. and still...just experience the magic...that's truly beyond this world. God cannot be everywhere that's why he sends people like AJT on earth and shows His TRUE Power. 'Incredible' world falls short of its meaning before AJT...
God is everywhere,that’s why people are here witnessing him
Indeed. He's playing his own compositions, a trail of gats, which have now become standards in Farrukhabad gharana.
They are not his own compositions and neither are they gats. He starts with short peshkar and then moves into an Ajrada kaida,following that moves into rela.Seems like you don’t know much about tabla.
@@shivabreathesplz can u give bols from 0:38 to 0:45, the fast part which comes after the peshkar? I know this a famous farrukhbad kaida but i am unable to find the bols in double speed 😢
@@shivabreathesand after rela?
Miss you nana jaan 😘😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭🙇🏻♂️🙏
Thank you putting this on the internet this is old gold stuff. Priceless. God bless you.
his hands are like machines. definitely da best of all time
Absolutely stunning!!
Just magnificent!!

This is absolutely amazing to see him performing on tabla. Completely mind blowing. This is pure epicness. Thank you from the depths of my heart for such a marvelous uploads. What a treasure !!!
Kya bhat, kya bhat hai!!! So young and already the great emperor of tabla!!
I don't know if Ustadji has a microphone or not, but I notice these recordings are unfathomably clear (even if there isn't a microphone). It is quite amazing!
I have no words. I wish he was born in this era.
Tabla nawaz ji ko dandwat Pranam
Gursimran sing ji apko mera Namshkar .....
zakir usen ji ki me bohot respect krta hu unhone tabla bajane ke new style invent kiye jo bohot logo ke kaam aya movies or clasical me ...but
Ehmad jaan thirakva ji 100 yers pehle hi vo sabkuch krchuke jo in 40 ,30 years me tabla artist krne ki koshish kr chuke he..
for example .....zakir husen ji ki kitni bandish he jo Ehmad jaan ji ke 100,70 years pehle ki recording me miljaigi ..
I especially admire his composure. Its not that he doesn't play with passion, its with respect and grace. Today's musicians do it for the audience mainly.
zakir is on top of the show off list and audience get swayed by the showmanship.
Well put. The current trend is due to the general ignorance and weakness in mindset of both audiences and ‘top’ classical musicians today. Hopefully as the next generation of musicians’ confidence grows this kind grace and composure will be respected and sought after again.
Listening to him is devine blissss
I like the tonal quality of the tabla used.. especially when he gives the chaap.. its awesome..
Wow, kha sahab!
actualy sabhi ka equaly yogdaan he tabla ko mahan banane me .... hamari itni hesiyat ya kabiliyat nahi ke kici ko mahan ya kici ko kazor samjhe ...
sabhi mahan he ....sabhi ka barar yogdaan rara
Greatest if not one of the greatest Tabla Players
Ustad ji 🙏🙏🙏🙏
i actually heard in one of his interviews that the chilla was more like 18-20hrs/ day and i remember he said "Athharaa(18), bees(20), is may koi fark he nahi thaa"
One of the best I have ever heard

@Ravi18Prakash you have real sense of tabla.no one have discussed about ustad habibuddin khan the younger guru bhai of thirakwa khan saheb .
Thanks to thirakwa Khan saheb loyalists. They never consider ustad habibuddin a great tabla player.
wow ! especially the last 30 seconds he plays very unique.
amazing to see such an old video, thanks for sharing!
Awesome 💗💗❤❤
9yrs...16 hrs a day...Riyaaz....
this is truly an art....easily separable from the much emphasised and obsolete school education ystem....
जय हो ❤
No1 has come near 2 the level Ustad ji achieved.
Wah ! Simply amazing.

I believe he's the Shahenshah-E-Tabla, meaning the King of Kings of Tabla players
Great 🙏💐

Unbelievable...sweetness and electric speed in one hand!!!
god of tabla.
Wonderful
What a clarity
emazing really
if you mean the syahi then you are gravely mistaken my friend... the tabla is nothing without it and your first lesson will be kinnar and syahi bol... However, Farukhabad Gharana is known for its fast Tirakit and Dhere Dhere (done on the 'black spot' with the palm) styles, so he has mastered it in his own right. Even I can play on the 'black spot' and I suppose most other students of other gharanas can play Tirekit bols after 2 years.
he is really in trance!
jaan👏👏👏👏👏
true!! does anyone have ustad habibuddin khan? another giant?
