It begins with instructions on how to hold the instruments and then demonstrates, step-by-step; the various sounds made with the fingers and hands.

There follows some intermediate studies with standard meters of 2,3,4,6, and 8 beats, as well as, the more unusual 5 and 7 beats. The video goes on to illustrate some advanced techniques and Rhythmic Diminution, the basis of drumming improvisation in India.
