Here is a cool clip of some indian drumming.
Special note: from the 3 minuet, all three are playing together. How they do, it I don't know.

Re: Indian Drumming
It's always interesting, IMO, to check out these kinds of percussion playing where the music (and instruments) are so incredibly old compared to Drum Set. Saw Zakir in March, just mind blowing both technically and musically.
I wonder how drum set playing will be in a 1,000 years or so.

Re: Indian Drumming
Hook up with a tabla player guys... they love to jam with drummers.
this stuff is very thought out.
They play in what was coined a Raga.
These are musical/melodic phrases of varying lengths, I think it must be at least 5 notes.
The drummers have a whole shit ton of different Ragas down, mixed with a sitar player's raga, the groundwork is set.
A lot of the crazy fast stuff they do is metering the original raga into triplet or double time, maybe eve 4x time, you never know how fast the chop is on a tabla player.
They can all rattle off the raga's they know verbally too, which is crazy impressive. I know about 10 that I ported onto drumset (had a roommate for 6 months that was a tabla player).
Seriously fun stuff.
I used to spend hours blazing down and just going at it with my roommate. He even had an Indian metronome, which no only clicks time, but had like 1000 raga melodies programmed in it through some horrible piezoelectric speaker, but it kept us honest.

Re: Indian Drumming
I've been revisiting the 'Remember Shakti' albums lately.
The whole production is stellar and the playing is beyond phenomenal.
