Good God there is a revolution about to happen. The Indian classical
percussion traidtion has been involved with inhumanly fast breakbeats
for centuries. Listen closely to the sound of the Baya (the larger of
the two tabla drums) for the wickedest bass sound imaginable.
A good solo tabla player rivals the most kickin D&B break for sheer
complexity, sonic range and temporal displacements.
Check Talvin SInghs solo CD 'Drum n Space' as well as anything by Zakir
Hussain.
BTW Talvin toured Australia with Massive Attack as well.
