I bring global rhythms to the stage with my Darbuka, blending Afro-house and Bollywood beats with high-energy visuals.

Kicking things off with an Arabic twist on the song 'Unholy'. This is a studio session where I'm layering a classic Darbuka rhythm over a modern hit.

A 'Persian Night' themed event that was an absolute blast. I was on my feet, surrounded by the crowd, playing my LED Darbuka to a mix of Afro House and Tech House beats.

A simple jam session at home, creating a Darbuka mix for the track 'Ride It'. This shows how I experiment with Afro-house and Deep House rhythms.

Capturing some Mediterranean vibes on the balcony. This is a cover of '1001 Nuits', a track perfect for the Darbuka, also known as a doumbek or tabla in different regions.

A Darbuka cover of Shakira's 'Hips Don't Lie'. It's a fun track to add an Arabic flavor to, perfect for a club or party setting.

My cameraman captured this crazy shot while I was deep in a Darbuka solo. The blue light on the LED drum and the intense focus shows the passion I have for this instrument.

A quick practice session on my transparent LED Darbuka. I'm playing along to a 130 BPM metronome to keep my rolls and rhythms sharp.

Even Spiderman can't resist the sound of the Darbuka. A fun take on the classic 'Ami Je Tomar' from Bhool Bhulaiyaa, showing the versatility of the instrument.

Here's my Darbuka cover of the new 'Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3' title track. I've always loved this song, and the new version has a great rhythm to jam on.

What if the iPhone ringtone was made in the Middle East? Here's my take, turning the classic jingle into an Arabic belly dance rhythm on the Darbuka.

About Darbuka & World Beats

A quick heads-up: to get that perfect, punchy sound for the venue, I always ask for a 60-minute soundcheck. My Darbuka and electronic pad setup needs that time to sync with the DJ's mixer, ensuring the bass and the acoustic beats hit exactly how they should when the party starts.

I traded my HCL laptop for a Darbuka because the beats were simply louder. I now spend my time traveling across India, turning club nights and weddings into high-energy rhythmic experiences. My only goal is to make sure that by the time I step off the stage, everyone is exhausted from dancing.
