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

Our goal with this collection was to capture a extraordinarily comprehen-
sive range of tabla articulations, designed to provide the most realistic,
high-f?delity, playable and dynamic tabla multi-sample instrument ever
attempted.

This library was recorded close and dry, in a medium wood and masonry studio.
We covered every classical tabla articulation and a variety of variants and
creative alternatives for maximum flexibility. We've also developed custom
performance control and pitch stepping functionality, further expanding
the musical potential of this library and allowing it to incorporate
seamlessly with our companion library, Tonehammer Tablas Vol. 1: Loops.
You'll also find a broad set of special effect and tuned melodic programs
and mutations, as well as a mighty set of brand new morphable ambient drone
instruments, crafted and sculpted from the heavily manipulated raw source
recordings. This collection also features basic EXS support and a variety
of other special features.

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.
