You might have thought this is another guy attempting to cover a song, which is not going to be that good. You probably have thought you would waste your time listening to it when there’s already an original and much better version.
We immensely appreciate the remarkable effort put together by this guy here. His attempt of reviving the art of Tabla which has lately been faded in the sub-continent is absolutely gold.
Just look at how his fingers run and synchronize with the beat. Listening to this version definitely, makes you forget about the original one.
