Bio
Darshan Doshi is a very renowned Indian Drummer/Composer. Based in Mumbai, Darshan started performing at the age of 2 & has established his name in the Limca Books of Records as the Youngest Drummer of India in 1997. He also was part of the kids' group 'Little Wonders' by Kalyanji Anandji. He has performed with all leading composers in India such as AR Rahman, Shankar Ehsaan Loy, Pritam, Vishal Shekhar & many more.
He is currently touring with Salim-Sulaiman, Farhan Akhtar, Adnan Sami, Diljit Dosanjh and Amit Trivedi. He has played the drums for several Bollywood films such as Rock On, Black, Dhoom 2, BhaagMilkhaBhaag, Queen, Secret Superstar, Fitoor, Dear Zindagi & many more. He won the IRAA (Indian Account Expressions Foundation) grant in 2014 for the Bollywood film 'Queen' as Best Percussionist. He has also performed on MTV India's live music performance series, Coke Studio & MTV Unplugged.
Darshan has also been associated with bands including – "Fuzonica", "Aakruti", "Defying Gravity", "Tapasya", & "Nakshatra".
He is currently endorsing several of the leading International brands, including Roland and has been using Roland products since last 12years.
As a believer of moving ahead with technology, Darshan shows immense interest in hybrid drumming with electronic pads. According to him, "The most important thing is to know your sound and to know which brand gives you the sounds that your music demands." For him, the endorsement is not just getting gear from a company. It's basically to enhance his sound as a musician, drummer, and composer. That's very important when it comes to an association between the company and the artist.
Darshan is an extremely busy individual, but he does teach drumming once a year at his studio The Click, where the students can participate in a One on One Masterclass. Also, he curates a three-day drum camp, which happens every year in May. His favorite Hashtag “#NothingButDrums”
