RE: kosmic renaissance - sax looping, tablas, etc
Yes, but despite learning from videos and books, I am a sloppy, fake
tablas player....I just transferred my fast guitar playing and sense of
rhythm to fast fingers on the tablas skins. It gets me by. :) In no
way do I claim to be a real tablas player, nor a sitar player for that
matter. Here are sample of my half-assed tablas and sitar playing.
Tablas - http://box.net/public/khartung/files/263509.html
Sitar - http://box.net/public/khartung/files/263508.html
Cheers,
Kris
