Overview
A singer, instrumentalist or dancer looking for rhythm accompaniment gets a sampler-driven electronic tabla in a compact case. It plays preset thekas with fill-ins, laggis and tihayis and can link to a synthesizer or computer over MIDI.
Many preset thekas and realistic sampled sound make it a practice and concert accompaniment for Indian classical music. MIDI in and out let it work with keyboards and software, though no speaker details are given.
Who it's for
A classical performer practising alone or accompanying a live set will rely on the preset thekas and fill-ins. Anyone learning strokes and finger technique needs real drums rather than a machine.
Pros and cons

Performance notes
Sampled tabla sounds are triggered by preset patterns, so the machine repeats each theka accurately and adds fill-ins on top. MIDI messages in and out let it follow or drive a keyboard or computer.
