Music, Percussion, and Creative Milestones
It is not just about the standard beats. Here is a look at my experiments with the Ghatam, jamming with students, and the journey of the Tablagram family.
Exploring different sounds with a Ghatam, a traditional clay pot percussion instrument. The beautiful natural setting in Sariska adds to the earthy tone of the instrument. Music is everywhere.

About More Rhythms & Milestones
Beyond my standard sets, I love exploring the earthy tones of the Ghatam and challenging my students with speed duets. Whether it is finding new textures in nature or pushing limits in the studio, this is where I keep my riyaaz fresh and my rhythm game strong.
The Sound Beyond the Tabla
Music is a constant flow. While the Tabla is my primary voice, the Ghatam or a simple Clapbox can tell a different story. I often head out to open spaces—like the outskirts near Sariska—to record how percussion sounds when it is not trapped in a studio. These moments are purely about the vibe and the texture of the sound.
Why Milestones Matter
For me, a milestone is not just a big stage; it is watching a student like Manmeet nail a complex, fast-paced duet after months of practice. It is about the growth of the community. In this cluster, you will see:
- Experimental Percussion: Trying out instruments like the Ghatam and Clapbox to add flavor to my fusion sets.
- Student Progress: Capturing the evolution from shaky beginner hands to confident, rhythm-steady performers.
- Collaborative Energy: Jam sessions that happen spontaneously, whether with fellow musicians or during a chill day at the Delhi academy.
Learning with the Flow
I believe you cannot teach rhythm if you stop learning it yourself. By constantly exploring new tracks—from trending pop to heavy fusion—I ensure my teaching methods stay relevant. Whether you are looking to join a group batch in Delhi or just want to see how we tackle rhythm in the real world, this section shows the full Tablagram journey. Waheguru di kirpa, it has been a wild ride so far, and I am just getting started.
Tablagram
I am Mannanjot, but everyone just calls me Tablagram. Music for me is a constant vibe, whether I am teaching a 2-year-old their first beat or jamming on a Ghatam in an open field. I am all about keeping the rhythm real and sharing the magic with anyone willing to listen.
