Tablas is a deeply multi-sampled percussion library with a wide choice of live energetic performance phrases. The tabla is a popular Indian percussion instrument used in the classical, popular and devotional music of the Indian subcontinent and in Hindustani classical music. The instrument consists of a pair of hand drums of contrasting sizes and timbres. SoundIron worked with tabla master and jazz percussionist Sameer Gupta to capture a range of tabla rhythm, melody, and soul. Sameer has been a student and practitioner in the art of percussion for over 30 years, traveling the world to study and perform in some of the world’s most prestigious institutions and venues.
