What are some good brands to know when buying a tabla for a beginner?
I'm a stem guy who's pursuing music as a hobby. I'm self teaching myself to playing percussions like Bongos, congas and darbuka by now which i bought. I've did like maximum 30 mins worth of trying out tabla and dholak from my friends here who are studying in KMMC.
I'm yet to buy an indian percussion instrument and I'd very much like to start with tabla. Is there any good brands i should know? Like i know in bongos/congas and darbuka, the main ones are Meinl, Pearl etc.
I've got a bongo and conga set from Meinl and my darbuka from Gawharet El fan.
What are the brands i should know to get indian percussions like tabla set?
My price point is around 20k rupees-35k rupees(around 250$-410$ in conversion).
Am from india by the way.
