Drum to Live, Live to Drum
Tabla I have been emersed in Tabla for 8 years with my Guru, Pandit Divyang Vakil. Pandit Divyang Vakil is one of the world's most respected Tabla guru. He doesn't only expand the skills of one of the world's most difficult drumming into his students but also articulates the entire personality of them. He is more of a friend to his students. His years of intense sadhana, kinship with spirituality and philosophy; and incomparable understanding of Indian classical music have enriched the traditional ''Guru-Shishya parampara'' , as all of his students are being trained in the same tradition. He teaches the latest and modern styles of Tabla playing as well as the classical and traditional methods, which he has mastered. His students produce a harmonious compilation of modern and classical aspects of Indian classical music. They don't only learn the commercial and popular form of Tabla but also distinguish spiritual aspects of it. Pandit Divyang Vakil 's colossal experience of more than 27 years as a guru , has produced innumerable professionals in the world of Indian and International music.
