Dec 5, 2008 - why didnt u say the bols?

uchoob00 Says:

Dec 5, 2008 - Kind of funny to see you explain the mridhangam in a very anglo-american accented English. You sound and look like the type of person that likes to hang out at Starbucks and sip on a latte, as you contemplate the state of your "mridhaaangum". Anyways, jokes aside, great job

Dec 5, 2008 - Rohan is from an Indian family, but grew up mostly in the USA -- thus the accent (or lack of same, depending on your viewpoint). What's so strange about that?

Dec 5, 2008 - U aint no Master!! u dont even know how to pronouce the intruments name.these are basic exercices by the way.i bet u can only produce these sounds with this highly expensive mridangam..u know what i mean..

Dec 5, 2008 - Anything with more than 10,000 hits gets negative comments! I have learned mridangam for several years and know that Rohan's strokes are SO CLEAR AND BEAUTIFUL! His style is very mature and creative. I would love to play just half of his ideas! Keep it up Rohan, you will get 1 million hits very soon!

ssaju Says:

Dec 5, 2008 - how the hell did he make it????

holotree Says:

Dec 5, 2008 - loll, i think worlddominator62 meant that he made the one that he is using right now.he added some features onto it which, in my opinion, agree with what satchi123 notes when he said he can only produce these soundw with his highly expensive mridangam

Dec 5, 2008 - only 2 thousand years old? are you joking?

2007renovatio Says:

Dec 5, 2008 - it will be cool, if you join a band, and instead of using the regular drums use the mridangum. A sort of east / west fusion music. That would sound really awesome lol. You're already in the U.S. so it's not so hard to join a band.

sdhanyam Says:

Dec 5, 2008 - Very nice...I suggest you upload the same in 'Dynamycdesi'.It is a online talent contest site for people.
