I focus on layering—starting with the base Theka, moving to complex fillers (Laggi), and finishing with accent percussion that makes your track pop. Whether you need the gritty groove of a dholak for a folk-pop track or the technical precision of tabla for a fusion melody, we will sit down, jam, and ensure the rhythm sits perfectly in your mix. My goal is simple: to make your music sound fuller and more alive. In our studio sessions, I don't just hit the drums; I listen to your composition and find the pulse that matches your vision. ### How We Work Together I understand that every producer works differently. Whether you have a clear melody and need a rhythm to support it, or you have a blank canvas and want me to create a unique rhythm structure, I am ready. I offer flexibility in our workflow: * **The Session:** Whether it's a 3-hour single instrument session for a song, or a 6-hour full fusion arrangement with layered Tabla, Dholak, and auxiliary percussion (like Darbuka and Shakers), we prioritize quality over rushing. * **The Sound:** I provide raw, high-resolution WAV stems. You get individual tracks for every layer, which gives you complete control during the mixing and mastering phase. * **The Vibe:** From soft Ghazal-style accompaniments to high-tempo Bollywood item numbers, I adapt my playing style. If you want the earthy, rustic charm of Punjabi folk, I go for the Dholak. If you need intricate, rhythmic depth, the Tabla is my go-to. ### Where I Record Music shouldn't be confined to one place. I travel to professional recording studios across Delhi/NCR to work with your sound engineers. If you have a preferred setup, I will be there to add the rhythm track that brings your project together. ### Let's Create I am always hunting for that 'New Koshish'—a fresh take on a standard rhythm. If you are working on a track that needs that authentic Indian soul, let's talk. Whether it's a solo session or part of a larger ensemble, I am here to bring the beat. ## About Atul Rohtagi I am Atul, the 'Tabla Beat Breaker'. Music is my life, and I love bringing the soul of Indian percussion to modern Bollywood and pop tracks. If you are looking for that authentic groove to elevate your production, let's connect and create something special.
