Tabla has been the principal percussion instrument in Indian classical music for decades. In this paper, accuracy will be considered as the ability to stay on beat and within the taal, while also increasing the tempo. This paper analyses the difference in the accuracy of a player’s performance based on their mathematical ability. The performances were collected from 5 tabla players with varying mathematical expertise. The performances were analyzed and based on the accuracy, statistical tools were used to compute whether a higher mathematical aptitude will lead to more accuracy.
