Jam Sessions and Special Collabs
Music is all about connection. Whether it is a stadium-sized cheer for the Delhi Capitals or a cozy, spontaneous jam with fellow artists, I live to fuse the traditional beat of the tabla with something fresh.
A super cool collaboration with the incredibly talented 'Baby Aruu', a young drummer. This video shows a dynamic jugalbandi between the tabla and a full drum kit, proving that age is no bar for talent.
Art meets reality! On the left is me playing the dhol for the Delhi Capitals, and on the right is a cool Ghibli-style animation of the same moment. A fun tribute to my collaboration with the DC Toli.
A fun fusion of tabla, beatboxing, and cajon, inspired by the show 'Mismatched'. This is what happens when different artists get together and just vibe.
A beautiful and soulful jam session with the melodious Simran Choudhary and her team. We are performing 'Aje Na Jaa', with the tabla providing a gentle rhythmic base for their amazing vocals.
Random jam sessions are the best! Here I am creating a tabla twist on the classic 'Bahon Mein Chale Aao' with some talented vocalists. This is spontaneous, unrehearsed musical fun.
For the classical music lovers, here is a trio performance featuring two tablas and a Taus. This session showcases the beauty of traditional Indian instrumental music and improvisation.
A spiritual jam session performing the shabad 'Tu Mero Mer Parbat Swami'. This is a more intimate and devotional side of my collaborations, focusing on Gurbani and classical raagas.
My students as part of the official DC Toli for the Delhi Capitals. They are all geared up to bring the roaring energy of the dhol and tabla to the cricket stadium.
The energy in the stadium is electric! Here I am with the DC Toli, getting the crowd hyped up during a Delhi Capitals IPL match. It's an incredible experience to be part of.
About Jam Sessions and Special Collabs
When I collaborate, it is never about overpowering the other instrument. For tracks like 'Aje Na Jaa' or my fusion sets with beatboxers, my focus is finding that sweet spot where the tabla’s earthy resonance complements, not competes with, the melody. It is about locking into the groove and responding in the moment.
Collaboration is where the magic happens. My style of percussion is built on listening and reacting, which is why I love mixing the tabla with everything from beatboxing and drums to vocalists like Simran Choudhary.
When I join the DC Toli for Delhi Capitals matches, the goal is pure, high-octane energy. We are there to feed off the crowd and keep the stadium roaring. But flip the script to a studio session, and the approach shifts to subtlety. Working with artists like young drummer Baby Aruu showed me that rhythm transcends age. It is all about the chemistry between players.
Whether you want a tabla fusion set for a wedding, a high-energy Dhol performance for a corporate gig, or an experimental jam for a music video, I bring a full percussion setup, including the Clapbox and Cajon, to match the mood. Music is a conversation, and I am always ready to talk rhythm. If you have an event or a project in Delhi NCR where you want a percussionist who understands how to blend with the vibe, let’s talk. Waheguru di kirpa, we will create something special together.
