A strong first beat - an accent - is used to divide beats into groups of three. This is called three-time and is a common time signature in western music. But music around the world often uses much more complex and (to Westerners) unusual time signatures.
In this video, lead educator Adam White talks to Shahbaz Hussain, an accomplished tabla player, about how time is organised in the music of South Asia.
The tabla are hand drums used in Hindustani classical and folk music and Shahbaz is one of the foremost players, having performed at prestigious venues around the world including Washington’s Smithsonian Institute and London’s Royal Albert and Queen Elizabeth Halls. In 2008 he was awarded the title “Son of Lahore” by the Pakistani government for his services to the art of Tabla.

Honestly, for me, a western drummer, the Tabla is the most rich source of inspiration to get out of the even meter box.
Give a listen to "mridangam". It's more emphatic than the tabla.
@@BlackMambo5 Never. Mridangam is bound but tabla is not. Many other syllabus can be only played in tabla. With its sweet melody
His tabla sounds perfect. Great video.
Very interesting. Thank you. There are a number of similarities with west african drums. They are also rythmically very complex on their own way. They rely on improvisation most of the time. The soloists use many sorts of codes to communicate with each other in order to build up complex improvisations on the fly, with for example one soloist at the djembe and one on the dununba drum (the larger one) so that the two instruments sing together and, most importantly, end together.
I love his tabla playing very much .great discussion
Good work 👏💯
thanks
Really cool!
great sir
Dha dhin, dhin dha! Teen thal. That brings back memories of dad trying to drill that bloody beat into my head as a kid.
sir, i suggest you to be a bit generous with the choice of words❤
@@cyrusghosh Which word did you find objection to? Was it the word "bloody "?
@@rajb4726 "
drill that bloody beat into my head"
@@rajb4726 I can understand what you meant, however the poor choice of words makes it seem derogatory
If you found my comment derogatory, I do apologise. I have no idea which part of the world you grew up in, or now reside, but in my defence, growing up in England, the word "bloody " has lost its potency. It's almost a throw away term. Having to do teen taal for hours and days on end does bring back memories.

You made it simple for him. Indian classical music has roots in indian mythology.. Taal derived from there.
Wha ji wha
Nice videos
Super
🙏😇♥️
Simple as breathing that stuff.... i got to lay down a bit cough, cough😥
You should. Explore. Carnatic music
What is the name of the rhythm time 2:00 ?
For Punjab it’s Bhangra I think
it is still a variation of the 4 or you can say 8 beat keherwa.
Its called Ghodi taal, the bols are
"ge ta dha ta na"
Great presentation and explanation of the concept through live demonstrations. I really appreciate it!
Just a comment: Instead of a somewhat esoteric word like "South Asian" can't you make it simple and say "Indian"?
As in terms of culture, music, geography or history, this is a word that simply refers to the entire Indian sub-continent ... which is home to 5 sovereign nations and not just India.
Musicians from Pakistan typically dont like to call it "Indian" for non-musical reasons!
@@jssethi Who gives a rat's ass about that. They still fall in the Indian subcontinent both historically and geographically.
Technically, it is called Hindustani music. Hindustan includes what is today Pakistan and Bangladesh.
I am really sad to see the people from Pakistan has started telling that it is South Asian Classical Music.. But the truth is it is all Indian music.. India was one big nation.. After the partition some parts went to Pakistan and Bangladesh but the matter of fact is *IT IS INDIAN CLASSICAL MUSIC*
Wrong. India was never one big nation.
Its called Hindustani music mr geology
Technically, it's Hindustani Classical Music. Hindustan includes what is today Pakistan and Bangladesh. But yes, Pakistanis want to use the term "South Asian" to avoid the association with India.
Clear boll
Why titled South Asian ? its Indian music, or South Indian music...
Tabla is the creation of Ameer Khusrau and the qehrwa taal played here is also created by him. His creations are richly inspired by Persia as well. Music is a collective phenomenon and no half-baked and jingoist view would be able to change that.
south asia is pakistan afghanistan india bangladesh this music is part of all our culture
DiceKid2008 have you been to the western side of the indus? there are a lot of pashtun pathan immigrants that have their culture ?
Shaini purushottam, Tabla is/was never a part of South Indian music. The main percussion in south Indian or Carnatic classical music is mridangam or ghatam. Tabla has its origin in Northern India by Amir Khusro and is an integral part of Hindustani classical music. South Asian is an appropriate term as it was widely used in classical/semi classical music in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh etc in a word the Indian subcontinent
He is a good player, bud he doesn't seem to know much about the history of Southern music
That's okay, maybe there is another person who is knowledgeable in that area.
