Mridangam is considered to be Karnatic counterpart of hindustani tabla.

It is very difficult to learn , unless you have lo of dedication ( i gave up i just one year )

One of my favourite instruments - a memory from when I was a child in India! Love the way you have caught the hands blurring in action.
