I just played a gig at Ta Blu with Rajasthan Roots and it was a great success! I was only playing drumset (not tabla) on this gig and really enjoying getting back into it. The greatest part was being able to play tihais and other tabla rhythms with the morchang/cartaal percussionist. We had a great time and the audience really enjoyed it. There are more gigs to come with them and maybe a recording. Because of this experience I am now excited of the prospect of playing drumset much more; maybe I will even get more work out of it.

Beats&Solos&Beats. Album is dropping June 1st! It’s an exciting time for me to finally get this out there. I am working out the live set right here…. Booking shows too! Stay tuned….
So I am back to social media after a month break. One of the things I wanted to do with this break was to immerse myself in a project that has been going on for a while: my first solo album. And I am very excited to announce a release date soon! I have some more work to finish on it with last minute guests and mixing and mastering but it is definitely becoming a real thing finally! I am nervous and excited at the same time to share all of these tracks with you soon!
My NAGMA machine seems to be out of whack today…. 🤣. #beeple
