ABOUT BHAV

 

My drumming journey began at 19 after seeing Less Than Jake live for the first time. The sound and energy of the drums completely blew me away—and from that moment, I knew I wanted to learn everything about them.

​

I bought my first kit from a friend and spent months teaching myself, but soon realised I needed proper guidance to keep improving. After two years of private lessons, my passion only grew stronger, leading me to enrol in a Diploma in Popular Music Performance at Drumtech, one of the UK’s leading drum schools. There, I developed solid technique, music theory knowledge, and the experience of playing with other musicians.

​

In 2006, I joined my first band, Monster Fight, performing across London at venues like the Metro Bar, Bull & Gate, and Purple Turtle. One of our tracks was even featured on Total Rock Radio—a real highlight in my early career.

Since then, I’ve played in a variety of bands spanning different genres, including a jazz orchestra, a folk band, and a pop-punk covers band, each helping me grow as a versatile and adaptable musician. I’ve also loved joining local jam nights, connecting with other musicians and experimenting with new styles and grooves.

​

A major career highlight came in 2012, when I was selected to perform as a volunteer drummer at the London Olympic opening and closing ceremonies—an unforgettable, once-in-a-lifetime experience. The following year, I was honoured to drum as part of a drumming group for the UEFA Champions League Opening Ceremony (2013), another incredible live performance opportunity in front of a global audience.

​

Drumming is my passion, and I’m equally passionate about sharing that excitement with others. My goal as a teacher is to inspire confidence, creativity, and joy in every student, whether you’re just starting out or ready to take your playing to the next level.
