Professional Tabla & Pakhavaj Studio Recording
Looking for authentic rhythm tracks for your music? I provide professional studio recordings for albums, singles, and film scores, bringing years of All India Radio-graded experience to your project.
This is where the magic happens. In the studio, I feel a deep connection with my pakhavaj, letting the rhythm flow. This video captures me during a recording session, completely absorbed in the music, crafting a rela in Chautaal.
Before any recording, I take time to warm up. This short video shows me practicing a complex rhythm pattern in Mishra Jaati. It is a crucial part of my process to ensure every take is precise and full of soul.
A blessed recording session at All India Radio, Akashwani Bhawan. Here I am providing tabla accompaniment for the gifted sitar player, Shri Prasenjit Ray Ji. These professional recordings for broadcast are a core part of my work as a session artist.

About Studio & Recording Sessions
Before we press record, I always spend time analyzing your scratch track to design a theka (groove) that complements your composition's specific mood and meter. Whether it is a standard Hindustani classical track or a complex fusion piece requiring dual percussion, I ensure the tabla's syahi and the pakhavaj's bass are tuned precisely to your song's root key so every beat feels connected to the melody.
Recording in the studio is a sacred process for me. My goal is to capture the organic energy of the instrument so it breathes life into your production. I bring my experience from All India Radio (AIR) to every session, ensuring that the velocity and timing meet broadcast-ready standards.
My Recording Approach
I am comfortable across various taalas and am always ready to experiment with unique soundscapes to fit your vision. If you are looking for specific textures, we can collaborate on mic placement to get the perfect sound capture for your mix. My sessions are inclusive of pre-production, where we review your scratch track together to determine the mood, design the groove, and ensure the laggis (variations) suit the song's climax.
