Wajid Hussain Khan was the khalifa of the Lucknow tabla gharana, and he was first and foremost a soloist who relished exceedingly difficult stroke combinations and dazzling speed of articulation. This excerpt is from a solo in jhaptal (10 counts), probably from AIR Lucknow and dating from the 1960s. It is a gat-qaida replete with variations. He begins at a fast pace, and the bols are extremely difficult to play. He then doubles it: the clarity and power are astonishing.
