Live Tabla Performances & Collaborations
Bringing rhythmic energy to your stage. Whether it is classical accompaniment, high-energy fusion, or live band sets, I adapt my tabla to fit the vibe of your event.
Accompanying a talented flutist for a rendition of Raag Miyan Ki Malhar. This monsoon raga has a beautiful, calming melody, and the tabla provides a steady rhythmic pulse like falling rain.
A live band performance of the Sufi classic 'Preet Ki Lat' by Kailash Kher. Jamming with a singer and guitarist in a cafe setting creates such a great vibe and connection with the audience.
Here I am demonstrating a Paran in Rudra Taal, an 11-beat cycle, during a live outdoor performance. I first recite the 'bols' (the spoken syllables of the rhythm) and then play the composition.
A beautiful collaboration with a vocalist singing Raag Brindavani Sarang. In classical performances like this, the tabla and vocalist are in constant dialogue, responding to each other's improvisations.
Having fun with a fellow tabla player, practicing a self-composed Chakkardaar Paran. Playing together, or 'jugalbandi', is a great way to sharpen skills and create complex, layered rhythms.
A snippet from a TeenTaal solo performance. A solo is where I get to explore the full range of the tabla, from intricate compositions to powerful improvisations, all within the 16-beat structure.
Performing a Kayda in an 11-beat cycle during an outdoor show. A Kayda is a type of structured composition that serves as a theme for improvisation, allowing for creative exploration.
A fun and energetic tabla cover of the Marathi Lavani song 'Wajle Ki Bara'. This shows how the tabla can be adapted to lively folk music styles from different parts of India.
An event poster for a solo performance I gave at the Kala Srishti International Group Exhibition. It was an honor to be invited to perform at such a prestigious art and culture event.
Just a fun jam session with my bandmates on guitar and bass. Sometimes the best music happens when you are just having fun and experimenting with different sounds.
About Live Stage Performances & Collaborations
When I step on stage, my priority is the mix. I arrive 45 minutes early for a soundcheck to ensure my tabla’s resonant bass sits perfectly with your sound system, whether we are playing in an intimate cafe or a large festival.
I do not just show up to play rhythm. I listen to the melody first. My approach to live stage performance comes from years of accompanying classical vocalists and Kirtan singers, where silence and timing are as important as the stroke itself. This foundation allows me to transition easily into fusion sets with guitarists, DJs, and bands.
Whether you need a solo tabla act or a percussionist to jam with your band for Bollywood or Sufi covers, I bring the same technical discipline. I am comfortable performing with click tracks, in-ear monitors, or playing fully acoustic in smaller venues. My setup is standard professional grade, and I tune on the spot to match the vocalist's scale.
I have performed at diverse venues, from the solemn spaces of Gurudwaras like RakabGanj Sahib to high-energy cultural events. If you have an upcoming show in Delhi NCR or a touring event, I am ready to sync. Let us connect to discuss the technical requirements, scale, and the specific vibe you are looking to create.
