Professional Tabla & Pakhavaj Recording Sessions in Delhi
A glimpse into the soul of my rhythm, from the delicate precision of the tabla to the deep, ancient thud of the pakhavaj.
A close look at my hands on the tabla. For me, every touch and every beat is a form of expression. This is the heart of my craft, where years of practice and dedication come together to create rhythm.
Here I am with my pakhavaj, an ancient and powerful percussion instrument. Its deep, resonant sound is perfect for traditional dhrupad compositions and devotional music, and I am grateful to carry its legacy forward.

Another clip of me practicing a pakhavaj rela. The powerful and open bols of the pakhavaj require a different technique and energy compared to the tabla.

About Instrument Showcase: Tabla & Pakhavaj
When I bring these instruments to the studio, the magic isn't just in the play, it is in the tuning. For every recording session, I tune my dayan to your song’s root key and collaborate on mic placement to capture the specific Syahi sound your track needs. Let's talk about the mood of your project.
Great rhythm is a conversation between the instrument and the composition. Whether you need the high-frequency, intricate fingerwork of a tabla for a ghazal, or the powerful, open-hand strokes of a pakhavaj for a devotional piece, my approach remains the same. I treat every session as a prayer, ensuring the sound matches the emotion of your song.
My Approach to Your Music
- Precision Tuning: I never guess the pitch. We tune the tabla to the exact root key of your vocal or instrumental track before we press record.
- AIR-Graded Standards: With my background in All India Radio work, I focus on consistent velocity and timing. You get broadcast-ready stems that sit perfectly in the mix.
- Creative Jamming: If you are unsure of the exact rhythm, we can jam. I am comfortable with Hindustani classical, fusion, and various time signatures. We will work together to design the Theka and Laggis that suit your climax.
Instrument Deep Dive
- Tabla: My go-to for versatility. It provides that crisp, resonant sound required for modern recordings and classic melodies.
- Pakhavaj: I bring this when a project needs that ancient, deep, and heavy voice. It is perfect for Dhrupad-style compositions or when you want to add a raw, organic texture to a fusion track.
I work primarily out of studios across Delhi NCR. If you are looking for a percussionist who respects the craft and stays with you until we get the perfect take, I would be honoured to contribute to your journey. Let's make something soulful together.
