The Machinedrum is a great machine.  It doesn't do any kind of realistic
tablas though...You could probably make some interesting
tabla-approximations on it, but they would still sound like a synthesizer,
rather than real tabla.

I've actually studied tabla off and on for a few years, and after playing -
even for a few months - you can really tell when someone is actually playing
or using a sample.

If you are looking for real tabla sounds, I'd recommend a sampler at least.
Also, go to www.sonicstate.com and search for Talvin Singh's Abracatabla CD.
It is a great sample CD of tabla and a lot of other percussion.
