Tritala: The rhythm of four bar with four beats in each. It is played by hands on a pair of drums called TABLA and BANYA. The right hand drum, which is made of wood, is called TABLA and the left hand one, made of copper or clay, is called BANYA. The sharp and clear beats are produced by the right hand, while the left hand, showing the end of the bar, sometimes moves its whole palm across the drum head, producing a dull sound. In this recording of the Tritala rhythm, a string and bow instrument called SARANGI has been used in order to give a melodic background to the TABLA. The string instrument repeats a melodic phrase over and over again while the drummer takes the lead. This is played in the North Indian Style.
