About Live & Studio Tabla Performance
My Roohani Taal
Tabla is more than just an instrument for me - it's my spiritual rhythm, my way to connect with something bigger. I don't wait for chances, I make them. Every beat I play is about sharing the peace and joy I find in music.
Live Performances
I bring tabla to life at events, whether you want a solo act or need me as a tabla accompanist for classical music. The crowd's energy always pushes me to adapt and play what fits the moment. You'll see me at classical concerts, devotional gatherings, college fests, band shows, and even private parties. I play Gurbani Kirtan and Shabad in Gurudwaras, jam with bands for Bollywood, Sufi, Punjabi pop, and sometimes even K-pop. A good beat is a good beat, Hain Ji? (Right?)
Studio Work
If you're working on a song or score, I offer studio tabla recording services with clean, high-quality sound. I also love composing original tabla pieces, whether you need something in TeenTaal, Jhaptaal, or Rupak Taal. Sometimes, ek composition khud ki (your own composition) just hits different.
Always Learning
I'm still a student, always experimenting, sometimes messing up, but always growing. Bas... blessings diyo 🙏 (Just... give your blessings).

My Story
Sat Sri Akal! I'm Jasmehar Singh. For me, tabla is not just an instrument, it's my zindagi (life). Thirteen years, and still, every night, I'm doing riyaaz (practice), sometimes till my fingers hurt. Played at Gurudwaras like RakabGanj Sahib - wah, that feeling! Sometimes studio jams, sometimes competitions, but honestly, music is my real trophy. Guru Sahib and my Ustad Ji blessed my journey. Bas, tabla mera junoon hai (tabla is my passion).
