The unique sound of the Indian Tabla

I love the Tabla drums and the sounds that they make.  Hoever it has taken my relatives many years to learn the proper way to play these drums.  One must remember that the tablas are made up of  two different drums.  Each drum has its own unique sound, one is like a bass drum and the other like a high pitch drum sound.Many people in the United States crave the sound of the tabla drums but their are very very few places where one can hear the tabla drums
