Welcome to the most comprehensive multi-sampled Tabla in the history of sampling.

The tabla is a popular Indian percussion instrument used in the classical, popular and devotional music of the Indian subcontinent and in Hindustani classical music. The instrument consists of a pair of hand drums of contrasting sizes and timbres. To call tabla a mere percussion instrument would be a vast understatement of its musical depth, as one of the most revered of all classical Indian musical instruments. We worked with tabla master and jazz percussionist Sameer Gupta to capture a range of tabla rhythm, melody and soul. Sameer has been a student and practitioner in the art of percussion for nearly 25 years, traveling the world to study and perform in some of the world's most prestigious institutions and venues.

Please note that the Tabla Vol. 2 "Multi" contains multi-samples of Tabla, however we also recorded a comprehensive set of Tabla Loops. We offer both packages are at cost-effective solution of $139. Please use the following cart item – if you want to purchase both libraries and thereby get additional discount.
