Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Drum Set Adaptations of North Indian Tabla is the first book to bring the rich rhythmic language of tabla into the world of the modern drum set. Rather than imitation, it offers drummers a way to discover new rhythmic ideas that expand their foundation, sharpen their discipline, and unlock creative freedom. Through spoken syllables, rhythmic phrases, and practical adaptations, players gain insight into how tabla compositions work while learning to apply them naturally to the drum set. Clear explanations and flexible exercises guide drummers toward fluency in rhythm as both sound and language.
