replies: text:  Anyone in percussion know Zakir Hussain, or any fan of Middle Eastern music, or world music. He has appeared on at least two Grammy Award winning albums with Mickey Hart - Planet Drum and Global Drum Project - and has 2 films made about him. Any other tabla player you known with two films made about him? The only other tabla player I can think of with his level of fame might be Badal Roy. As to "widely considered as the world's best", I agree that's unsupported hyperbole (even though it's probably true). Zakir might say his father was better. Rosencomet (talk) 18:41, 14 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: "Widely considered as" is not the same as "definitely is".  As stated, it's true.  There might be some dissent; some other player might be an alternative candidate for "best player", but he is "widely considered".  What's needed is some citation for the statement.2600:6C50:800:DC1:81AA:8DE5:2F63:8C10 (talk) 17:39, 26 March 2024 (UTC)

replies: text: I see no reason at all to change the awards section into prose. It certainly won't make it more readable, nor make it easier to use as a reference. I also see no reason to reduce the discography; in fact, it can use expanding to include producers' names. The other two points are well taken: the text is choppy and hard to read, not so much an article as a collection of flat statements, and the citations need formatting according to wiki guidelines.
