Finding the unique - Tabla Drums
Every percussionist has the standard drum set, with a few minor additions here and there. But we were looking for something that would be unique, not just different. So my buddy and I went through I’d say hundreds of Youtube and online videos and found it. The tabla drum is perfect. Most of the time, it was used in middle eastern music and was not just keeping the beat, but contributing to the melody! It kind of sounds like a really loud raindrop, if that makes any sense. There are also some amazing designs online, but tend to be expensive.
