"Mike
and Tim's willingness to work with composers and provide feedback in
the creative process is invaluable, and their mastery of numerous
non-Western instruments provides an exciting opportunity for fresh
sounds and timbrel combinations.”

Kestner – Composer
Here is a video describing the basic sounds of tabla. This is intended for western composers who have had little to no experience with tabla the goal is to introduce the sounds available. To the right you will find a document that has these ideas written out for reference.
Because my voice is a little quite in this video I would advise headphones or good speakers. This will also help in hearing all the bass sounds more clearly.
