FAVOURITE ALBUM YOU PLAYED ON: Made in Kolkata, Pete Lockett and Pandit Shankar Ghosh.  A little vain picking one of my own but, it was such a melting pot of great ideas that I have to go for that.

FAVOURITE ALBUM YOU DIDN’T PLAY ON: Drums of India, Juan Prakash Ghosh

CAREER HIGHLIGHT:  Every day I wake up and realize I have more music to come, especially now I have all these new Sabian cymbals in my world!
