This is an offshoot from the A Different Drum thread started by nneekolas which inspired the following thoughts, for which my heartfelt thanks!:-

Ravish enclosure? Drums? How about a dedicated tabla pedal? There is one made in India which looks and sounds slightly delicate to say the least but the idea is great. (The Radel TAALMALA digi 100 PLUS). So, after the Ravish Sitar, it would be wonderful to have a percussive companion XO called the Chanti with some basic tabla presets and the usual EHX magical buttons for tempo, sound, frequency and so forth, with stereo outputs representing the smaller dayan on the right and the larger, deeper sounding bayan on the left. In this way the Ravish Sitar and the Chanti would provide an amazing soundscape, fantastic rhythms and great inspiration.
