A beautiful Saturday morning… rushing toward a calm, shady patch of a Florida park — heart full of purpose.
I’m not just carrying drums. I’m carrying rhythm, intention, culture… and a cause bigger than us all.
Meeting like-minded souls who believe in the power of music, movement, and solidarity.
Unloading the Dhols under that crisp sun, on a bed of fresh green grass — I could feel the energy rising already
Yes, bringing over Dhol, Tashya, and other instruments all the way from India was challenging and expensive. But every ounce of effort has been worth it. Because what these instruments carry… is legacy, unity, and healing.
Alongside the powerful Dhol, our team plays:
- Tashya – sharp, high-pitched, dynamic rhythm keeper
- Zanj – like a metronome, grounding us in beat
- Lezim – brings in dance, coordination, and joy
Together, they create an experience that’s not just musical — but transformational.
As a wellness coach, I always speak about the science of healing. But this — this is where science meets soul.
Drumming isn't just noise; it's therapy.

Mental & Emotional Wellness
- Stress Relief: The moment I pick up my Dhol, everything else disappears. It’s moving meditation.
- Mood Booster: Endorphins kick in. You feel lighter, happier.
- Focus & Brain Health: Drumming sharpens attention and reflexes. Did you know it may boost BDNF — a brain protein that supports neuron growth and cognitive strength?
Physical Fitness
- Intense Cardio: Carrying and playing the Dhol is no joke — it's a full-body workout!
- Coordination: My hand-eye reflexes have drastically improved.
- Stamina & Strength: This isn’t just fun — it’s fitness.
Social & Creative Benefits
- Team Bonding: Every performance teaches trust, adaptability, and collective flow.
- Creative Confidence: You learn to improvise, to lead, to express.
- Empathy: Live events constantly push us to be more aware — of our audience, our teammates, and ourselves.
