Why would anyone even want to use an electronic mridangam?It is not the way Carnatic musicians refer to their talam. The mridangam is a creatively played instrument. It is not played with thekas like a tabla. No one refers to the talam by listening to a mridangam! A talometer in my opinion is the right instrument to use as an aid for talam reference. You can mute the intermediate beats and get a very fine indication of chaapu talam.
