# Tabla — Exercises (applied practice)

Drills clean your bols. Apply them here with a metronome. Full thekas:
[`taals.md`](taals.md) / [`taals.html`](taals.html).

## TiRaKiTa application

```
1          2    3          4
TiRaKiTa   Na   TiRaKiTa   Na
```

Even roll; Na lands on time. Start ~60 BPM.

## TiRaKiTa speed pyramid

Same cell: 4× slow → medium → fast → down (or 60 → 72 → 84 → 96).

## Call & response

```
Dha  -   Ge  Na  |  Te  Te  Na  -
```

## Mini tihai (seed)

```
Dha  TiRaKiTa  Dha  -  |  Dha  TiRaKiTa  Dha  -
```

Grow to three repetitions into sam when ready.

## Bass ostinato (Ge / Ka)

```
Ge  Na  Ge  Tin  Ge  Na  Ka  Tin
```

Bayan pulse must not follow the dayan.

## Keherwa song-groove (8)

```
Dha Ge Na Ti Na Ka Dhi Na
```

## Dadra song-groove (6)

```
Dha Dhin Na Dha Tin Na
```

## Teentaal pocket (first vibhag)

```
Dha Dhin Dhin Dha
```

Lock ×4 as a loop before the full 16-beat theka.

## Groove switch

4× Keherwa → 4× Dadra → back, same BPM.


## Teentaal (four vibhags + full 16)

Vibhag 1–4 on `exercises.html`, then one full-row theka. Khali = vibhag 3.

## Rupak (7)

```
Tin Tin Na Dhin Na Dhin Na
