Suresh Talwalkar (Marathi: सुरेश तळवळकर)(born 1948) is an Indian musician who plays the percussion instrument tabla.
Talwalkar was born 1948 in Mumbai and initially learned playing the tabla from his father Dattatrey Talwalkar.[1][2] He trained under tabla players Pandharinath Nageshkar and Vinayakrao Ghangrekar, and studied the rhythm theory of Carnatic music and Hindustani classical singing.[2][3]
His style draws from several gharanas (stylistic schools) and he accompanied classical musicians and dancers;[2] Talwalkar frequently performed with sarangi player Ram Narayan since the late 1960s, accompanied classical singer Ulhas Kashalkar, and has toured in the United States, Europe, and Africa.[4][5][6] He taught tabla players, including Vijay Ghate, and Western drummers.[2] Talwalkar was awarded the All India Radio Award in 1966 and the Sangeet Natak Akademi Award for 2004.[2][7]
Talwalkar is married to classical singer Padma Talwalkar and they have a daughter, tabla player Savani, and a son, Mumbai businessman and tabla player Satyajit.[8][9]
