River Rhythm Shakuhachi : John Kaizan Neptune
The tabla tharang, a set of tuned drums, is the first sound you hear. Tharang means "river," "wave," or "galloping rhythm." Tabla usually refers to a set of drums: the lower baya is played with the left hand, and the tuned tabla is played with the right. The tabla tharang tuning here is a Japanese pentatonic scale like that found on the shakuhachi.
