Usage of musical instruments and its names in a misplaced context had always been an annoying factor to me. The harmonium in the hands of a metro train beggar looks better for it becomes the source of his life and is looked after as his own part. But a Korg keyboard in the hands of a rich kid, who has mastered nothing but the power and volume keys, makes me look at it as the beautiful girlfriend of an impotent guy.
The words “jaalra/thaalam” are more commonly used as idioms to mean individuals who don’t have their own motto toward life but devoted to the likes and dislikes of their boss. Well it again is an improper usage for those little instruments are more than what we think.
Does the success of a song lie in its tune or rhythm or its lyrics? It’s an insane immature question. But we all would admit the fact that rhythm and percussion instruments were evolved primary to the others.

Sruthi and Tempo are two most commonly used words in any singing competition. Now for the context getting to know about the word “Tempo” is needed. Tempo is nothing but the speed of the song. Let’s say for instance the song “Hasili Fisili” from Aadhavan is a 4:27 Minutes long song. But when played in any stage by an orchestra or a band, the song would not be of the exact measure. This is because of the fact that musicians either get tired and drag the song or get more enthu and play it fast.
To overcome this were designed little instruments that were played by individuals with greater rhythm sense. Individuals who could keep playing like a pre programmed system without human errors. The whole band including the singers rely on the tempo of these instruments that they follow its speed throughout the song. I would compare the musicians who play such percussions to the referees of football. The players run only when the ball comes to their part while the referees have to keep running throughout. Their stamina is incredible. Music sense is amazing. Their onstage seat is a corner and they go unnoticed.

When it comes to art the measuring units are different.
