Step 1) be born into Tabla dynasty, preferably benares tradition
Step2) find guru - helps if he's a close relative
Step 3) play 14 hours a day from the age of 4 to about 20
Step 4) you are now ready to play concerts - book a venue and a harmonium
dude, and entertain the masses for about 7 hours with no break

sounds pretty comprehensive to me... :o)
