It was so nice to see Rick trying to catch the Thaalam (Rhythm) and getting confused. The first set (opening video) is performed in Adi Thalam, a 8 beat cycle, which is the most common thaalam you see in classical music. Second set is performed in Mishra Chaapu, a 7 beat cycle. But practically most performers use it as a 3.5 beat cycle making it a very preferred Thaalam for precurssion performance. It usually comes in folk songs in and Outside India. Third is a 9.5 beat cycle.

[@pra2221]

Good to hear the details

[@indianfoodie9403]

Thank you! That was very informative

[@amitavabanerjea1]

Mishra chapu thalam corresponds to rupak or tewra taal in Hindustani, structured 3-2-2. Rupak is used often in Hindustani classical music and also in folk and popular music. Examples from Hindi films: “Piya to se naina lage re”, “Teri bindiyaan re”, “Megha chhaye adhi rat”. As others have noted, the last piece was set 9.5 beats, not 9. It is structured thus: 4 | 2 | 2 | 1-½. In Hindustani this is probably called Sunanda. It may also go by other names.

[@tsram]

@@amitavabanerjea1 Thank You for the info. There is Roopaka thaalam in Carnatic also. But someone had told that there is slight differences between Roopaka and Mishra Chaapu. Since Roopaka Thaalm is part of the 35 Thaalam system, while the 3.5 Mishra chaapu is not.

[@tsram]

What Rick shows at 13:40 playing two sets of rythms in either hand, is a technique used in Avadhana pallavi in Karnatik music where the user plays two separate rythms in either hands and the lyrics is set accordingly. It is supposed to be a very tough technique and Rick does it easily! Kudos to you!!

[@amitavabanerjea1]

Except for the last piece where he missed the ½ beat. During the mishra chapu piece he was initially confused but then picked up the 7-beat structure by imitating one of the artists on the stage. 😀

[@srinivasaraghavan908]

Vikku vinayakram is legend in Ghadam which is very famous in south india, particularly tamilnadu Once he went to America for concert. Unfortunately his ghadam seems broken.God never let him down. Few years earlier he presented one ghadam to american. That guy gave the ghadam for concert! .

[@spdcrzy]

Watching Rick - someone with DECADES of musical experience - struggle with the odd beats makes me so happy as a tabla player. The hardest taals I always had trouble with were the larger prime numbers - 13, 17, and 19 - the latter of which is performed here as 9.5.

[@shripierce]

I know Vinny Vinaygam Sir personally. I'll Say I'm one of the luckiest person, I had the privilege to sit next to him and see his performance. I can never ever forget that. The pot or Ghadam is heavy I was completely blown away when I saw him throw it up and play it. It was a wow moment

[@richardiru9587]

Thetakudi Harihara Vinayakram, also known as Vikku Vinayakram, is a legendary Grammy award-winning Indian percussionist. He is also known as the God of ghatam. He plays Carnatic music with the ghatam, an earthen pot, and is credited with popularising the ghatam. He is the first South Indian to win a Grammy Award.

[@donjaved]

As someone who comes from a family who's Ancestral profession is Classical music I thank you from the bottom of my heart for reacting and understanding the complex rythmic patterns with such respect and curiosity for the art. what that man is saying is a praise to God and music is like god to us our music will now live on 🙏🙏

[@shyam9271]

My man ghatam is a whole range of instrument which each and every one has a certain tuning so that's why you see him having three but usually it's a whole room full of ghatams which they choose and select for each and every concert that they perform according to their selection of songs and notes every ghatam is tuned to a single scale

[@preetamaswath1461]

Rick and korbin are getting a hang of “Thalam” great to see 👍 They were constantly doing the Thalam with their hands The palms fingers and the stomach are used to play the Ghatak The distance between the pot and the stomach enables the musicians to vary the sounds created.

[@prasadsawant3396]

@Rick Rick Rick bravoo mannnn... u absolutely nailed counting 9 & 1/2 beats. just counting that rythm is so complicated & playing on that rythm nearly seems impposible.. Only people like these who are no less than GODS OF MUSIC can do stuff like this.. But what I loved most was the effort u put in to count the beats hahaha. .. IF u could do that u can enjoy any indian classical percussion solo performances.

Yeah! Right after the half beat he should have started with 1. But he left that started counting after! My OCD was 😡😡

[@karthikeyarayanvr9717]

Dear Rick & Corbin, you will have to see this directly to understand what happens on the stage. I have had the chance to spend some time watching VIKKU "GAtAM" VINAYAKRAM train his students at his Triplicane school. Small babies to grown men used to practice there. The training goes on for a few years...in those days children had to study for about 8 years daily to learn something! Konnakkol (music/rhythm, through voice) is one of the toughest. It is also about memorizing very tough compositions and mastering tongue twisters. It is a different world out there, westerners will find it difficult to understand, let alone master this art form.

[@pradeepap2000]

The components of the mud are separated by sieving and dissolving in water followed by filtration. Then the mud is mixed with the sand collected from Vaigai River. An appropriate amount of lead and graphite are added to it, to improve the tone. The tone is also changed during the performance by changing the direction of the mouth of the instrument and also by pressing the stomach into the mouth of the instrument or not... The ghatam as an instrument was first described by Sage Valmiki in the ancient poem Ramayana, dated roughly 500 CE. The sound the ghatam makes when played has been described in several other Sanskrit texts on rhythm and music, including the Tamil text Silappatikaram from around the same period of time.

[@Peacekeeper469]

Guyz DRISHYAM 2 is now available on Amazon prime Plzz review 😊

[@pkompell]

So, ghatams have micro granules of five different metals etched into clay so that they resonate when the ghatam is hit. It is not just a clay pot, as it might have started off. I was in as much awe when I first heard to this instrument.. :)
