About

Music speaks for me when words run out. When you hear tak dhum kita tak, that's not just a sound—it's a part of me. My style comes from the Jaipur Gharana, but honestly, the real magic kicks in when I'm in the spotlight, drumsticks in hand.

The Energy I Bring

Every time I’m on stage—whether it's a massive college fest, a club with a DJ, or a cozy Sufi night—my goal is simple: make you feel the vibe. I want you to catch my energy, not just listen. If you’re moving, laughing, or even lost in the groove, then I know I've done my job. Toh kaisa laga? (So, how did you like it?)

Where My Drums Go

I play all kinds of gigs:

  • Big concerts and festivals, sharing the stage with folks like Farhan Akhtar and Kailash Kher ji
  • Sangeet nights and wedding parties, where a Dhol and Djembe performance can really light up the dance floor
  • Private and corporate events, from fusion percussion sets for chilled-out evenings to all-out party sets for a pool party or NYE
  • Soulful evenings—Gazals and Sufi percussion live, sometimes alongside legends like Talat Aziz ji

My Percussion Playground

My setup changes with every show. Sometimes it’s Bollywood percussionist for weddings, sometimes it’s world percussion—Djembe, Congas, Darbuka. Indian folk with Dhol, Tabla, or modern with a full drum kit, even electronic pads. I only use pro gear because good sound matters, always.

Always Ready to Travel

Every show is a new page in my journey. Wherever your event is—India or beyond—I’m game. Main tumko sheesh navata hoon (I bow my head to you) for letting me share my beats.

My Story

Hey! I’m Rishabh, grew up with Jaipur Gharana music echoing at home. Music’s my heartbeat, took me from quiet studios to wild stages, jamming with legends like Kailash Kher 'ji' and even vibing with Govinda. Been on The Kapil Sharma Show—my family cheering, crazy times! For me, it’s all about those random jams, the calm in chaos, and sharing tunes with my famband and wifey. Music’s my life, and I’m just soaking it all in, hoping we make magic together.
