Hello, my name is Gurdain Rayatt and I am a professional classically trained tabla player with over 30 years experience.

I was fortunate to start my learning journey at the age of 3 from my father Ustad Harkirat Rayatt and my grandfather Ustad Gurmit Singh Virdee. I then took taleem from Bickram Ghosh and became a disciple of Pandit Shankar Ghosh. I am now a disciple of Pandit Yogesh Samsi.

My experience learning under different maestros from different styles and performing as a soloist, instrumental accompanist, dance accompanist and my collaborative history working in multiple genres including opera, western classical ensembles, electronic/contemporary bands, Latin American and African traditions and Blues music as well as my various encounters with other professional tabla masters has been overwhelming and incredible!

I have been teaching online for over 10 years and it has long been my dream to provide a comprehensive and high quality hub of material for all tabla lovers to learn and develop with confidence

At Tabla Online, I will provide courses of all varieties, from learning about rhythm to playing with devotional music, to playing complex compositions in different cycles. Whether you are just starting or have been playing for decades, Tabla Online caters for all students with a growing library of content for all tabla enthusiasts.
