Review:
Learning Tabla with Alla Rakha is one of the most articulate and practical texts to deal with Indian rhythm. It serves the dual purpose of providing material for someone interested in learning to play tabla and also for someone interested in rhythmic structure but who does not care to actually play the instrument. This is a text for all those who would like to fulfill this aspect of their musical growth. --John Bergamo, Chairman, Percussion Department, California Institute of the Arts

In India, every instrumentalist (not just drummers) must have a thorough knowledge of the rhythmic system. Many jazz musicians, including myself, have benefitted greatly through knowledge of the structure of Indian music. This manual with accompanying recording is superb and has universal application to serious students of music everywhere. I highly recommend it. --Paul Horn, flutist

A wealth of knowledge... an inspiration. --Emil Richards, percussionist
