A drum with strings

That is one description of the Sarode that I think is accurate. Only when you are confronted with the complex right hand picking will you understand this.
Da is the down stroke.
Ra the up stroke.
Diri the down up stroke .
Chickari strings fill in the gaps.
How could this be complex? well using d for da and r for ra, not using the diri yet, try this.
drd,drd,dr, repeat 4 times.
drd,dr,drd,repeat 4 times.
dr,drd,drd,repeat 4 times.
Now string these together as: drd,drd,dr, drd,dr,drd, dr,drd,drd, drd,dr,drd. and your done.
