| The variations in the pitch were brought out well to the fast beat of the mridangam. |
| The mridangam and tabla players were excellent as well and none of the musicians tried to overshadow the other. |
| Maruthi plays the tabla and the mridangam and also plays Carnatic music on a keyboard. |
| Mr. Gopalakrishna Iyer, who had started learning the mridangam at the age of 30, knew his own limitations as a performer. |
| Sitar, sarod and pakhwaj are used to good effect, but use of percussion instruments like tabla and mridangam is minimal. |
| I have learned tabla and mridangam from a teacher who had come down to Durban not very long ago. |
