Parampara Student Tabla set

Made in Calcutta, India   from the best craftsmen available. No detail has been overlooked in the making of these fine tablas. In addition, the construction is carefully monitored by professional musicians , especially in the making of the GAB which is essential to the final sound. Learn more about the makers of Parampara Tablas here.

 

The BAYAN   ihas a standard weight of 2.5kg.  The Gajara is fashioned in a simple twisted style which is preferred by some players.

 

The Dayan is made from the best Shrish wood that has been well seasoned.  Also please note that all of our Tablas are air shipped only from India. This makes a very big difference!! Generally in the West, tablas are sent by sea and so they are subject to high temperatures and moisture which can destroy even the finest of drums, especially the Dayan!!  Our tablas leave India and arrive here in perfect condition and tuning!

The GAB or SYAHI is made layer by layer with a maximum density of cracks to ensure the highest degree of flexibility. Also, the skins and straps for the Tabla set have been made from Bombay skin, which are known to be longer lasting. Calcutta style tablas are famous for their sound but to get this, the heads have been thinner. We have managed to get the Calcutta sound while at the same time utilizing the strength of Bombay skin!

Covers, Rings, hammer & 8 dowels for the Bayan tuning are included as standard accessories. Colors of the covers and rings will vary.
