Artist Testimonials
What other artists said
Equal weight in 2 fingers while playing Delhi gharana kaydas is one of the most difficult aspects in tabla playing; Suraj's control on two fingers and "teTe teTe" sound was magnificent.
Dr. Shobha Koser
Kathak Exponent & Founder Pracheen Kala Kendra
Suraj is a young and talented tabla player. Traditional Talim of Delhi Gharana is visible in his playing.

Guru Malti Shyam

His fingers on Tabla are well balanced and bols are soothing to ears. I found him exceptional during Kathak accompaniment.
Pt. Birju Maharaj
Kathak Exponent & Founder Pracheen Kala Kendra
Suraj doesn't throw his hands here and there on Tabla. His tabla solo recitals are authentic and mastered with clarity of bols.
