Gourisankar and Steve Smith were co-instructors working with drumset students and tabla students. Steve focused on South Indian rhythms and konnakol. Gourisankar demonstrated how to play the South Indian rhythms on tabla and taught some North Indian rhythms. Teachers and students benefited from an "East meets West," "North meets South" exchange of rhythmic insights. Steve Smith uses Vic Firth timpani mallets, SS Signature sticks and Tala Wands.
