Drumming is Aarav’s biggest passion. He started banging pots, pans, and toy drums as a baby and took lessons at the age of 5. As he grew older, he started exploring more drummers and more musical styles.
As his technical abilities and skills develop, he has participated in many school level, district level and band competitions, and secured first place. He’s also performed many small shows in the city.
In 2026, he performed at the Tama Ibanez Connect India event in Mumbai. He has been recognised by many of the professional musicians he has met. Aarav’s favourite drummers include Neil Peart, Stewart Copeland, and Jeff Porcaro. He practices every day as he keeps trying to become a better drummer.
He loves performing for live audiences and is looking forward to performing at the UK Drum Show 2026.
