I have been playing the drums since the year 2000. Here is a brief timeline of my endeavors in music:

» In 2001, I first met and collaborated with Samantak Sinha (Sunny), and musician turned writer Sougata Basu. Since then we have been close friends and band-mates across a variety of bands.

» From 2002 to 2005, I played with several bands, including "Sandhan". I recorded an album with "Sandhan" titled "Dhusor Akash".

» In 2005, a few like minded friends (including the two mentioned above), and I, formed the Art Rock band Empty Spaces.

» In 2009, with Empty Spaces we recorded and released the concept album Jibon Britto

» In 2012, Empty Spaces released its second album Abol Tabol, based on Sukumar Ray's book of the same name.

» From 2008 to 2010, while I was in Bangalore, I used to play with Anupam Roy.

» In 2016 I recorded the drums for the tracks Circling Around and The Sun and The Moon for Dharav Shah's maiden album Luxuries of Life

Note: Most of my endeavors with original music has been with the Bengali language, a language with its own dialect and script, having its roots in Sanskrit. Know more about this incredibly rich literary language from here, here, and here.

» My acoustic gear is a vintage-red 5-piece TAMA Superstar. I have always been a fan of the crisp and bright sound of the Zildjian A Custom series, and my 14" Hi-Hats, 16" & 18" Crashes, and 20" Ride are of this series. I also use a Zildjian ZHT 16" China, and a 10" Splash.
