In mrdanga playing power is good, endurance is great, but precision is king.

If you have power and endurance people will notice you. If you have precision you can become invisible - the kirtan will rock so hard that people will forget you're there.

And that's the goal.

This is a video that I shot of Gaura Hari das, mentioned in H.H. Indradyumna Swami's recent diary entry, while he was here performing with Maharaja and his spiritual circus.

This is a good solid style of playing that is quite representative of modern ISKCON kirtan.
