E365 India Pvt Ltd and renowned Tabla and percussion experts Pandit Subhen Chatterjee and Shri Sambit Chatterjee collaborated to organize the first edition of the Kolkata International Drum Festival at Calcutta International.

An amazing evening of varied musical styles and rhythmic prowess was presented to Kolkata, ending in an unparalleled symphony that resonated with every beat.

The mesmerizing performances by Karma Bandish Fusion, led by Pandit Subhen Chatterjee, Ranjit Barrot, Gino Banks, Viveick Rajagopalan, Darshan Doshi, and Gaurab Chatterjee, were the major highlights of the event.

The festival’s goal was to raise awareness of the value of introducing the next generation to the seasoned professionals in India’s thriving percussion sector. This was the first time that drum kit musicians, beatboxers, tribal drummers, tabla players, and other percussionists had ever come together in one place in the nation, bringing together different generations and cultures on a single platform.

The first-ever Kolkata International Drum Festival established a standard for subsequent events by showcasing the principles of group drumming and music sharing through special performances by Vox Box and the Dhamsha Madol Players.
