- HIDDEN DRUMMERS of INDIA is a documentary that goes off the beaten track to explore the world of Carnatic rhythm, and in particular India’s most awesome drum, the Kanjira!
I spent several weeks traveling through the southern states of Karnataka and Tamil Nadu where I met with the most incredible players and immersed myself in the Carnatic tradition to make this film. I hope you enjoy my journey into this captivating art form.

Thanks for checking out my documentary Hidden Drummers of India! You can help me out with the algorithm by hitting the thumbs up button below the video, or leaving me a comment to let me know what you think of these incredible kanjira artists! 🙏
7:56 _You have to practice every day, every single day. Or else, one day you don’t ask the instrument, and the next day instrument asks, “who are you?“_
:)

The way that music education is always vocalised in Indian music is really interesting. They are literally talking to their instruments.
It’s a beautiful thing!
That was fantastic and transported me back to India. Thanks 🙏
I've played the khol for 20 years and would like to try the kanjira. I've heard the synthetic Remo kanjira is good but would love to hear if anyone with expertise has opinions about it!
Amazing video. India and her music is quuite complex
❤❤❤ Super 👍👍👍...
This is wonderful.
Thanks for watching!
Great stuff Ruairi. You have made a brilliant series of filmed snd edited documentaries. Great sound, as well. What an intriguing little instrument the Kanjira is. Well worthy of highlighting for sure. As you know, frame drums have such a rich global history and I hope you continue this series of docu's. Cheers!
Thank you for watching and taking the time to write - means a lot! Very best to you. Ruairi
This is a great documentary, thank you Ruairi. Have you ever thought of using the Kanjira in place of the bodhran for Irish traditional music? I happened to travel with mine and used it for the first time 2 wks ago in Belfast during 2 sessions, which brought some interesting looks and questions from the public :) ...
Thanks for the kind words and for watching, and also great the kanjira got a spin at the sesh! R
Absolutely magnificent filmmaking; very greatful for you Ruairi for telling this story.
Thank you so much for watching, and for the kind words- 🙏🎶
at 37:00 it almost sounds like drum & bass !!
Ruairi, thank you so very much for this documentary!! Me and my son (8 years) old settled in Canada have recently started learning Kanjira from our Guru P. Vetriboopathy (in India) who is a great Mridangam, Kanjira player along with a few more percussions. Your video has been instrumental for me to explain Kanjira so well to my son who is born here in Canada. Thank you!
Wonderful to read this note! So glad you enjoyed the documentary and wishing you both a magical journey with Kanjira 🙏🙏🙏
Nice!
Thanks for watching!
