The first few lessons on drums have their own kind of electricity—the curiosity of discovering the kit, the satisfaction of finding a rhythm, and the excitement of realising just how much there is to learn. 🥁

Meet Ekamraj Singh, beginning his drumming experience at Central Music Institute (CMI), where each lesson is shaped by focused mentorship, thoughtful instruction and the freedom to explore.

CMI Drums Training Programme develops far more than coordination. Students build posture, stick control, rudiments, timing, groove, limb independence, dynamics, fills, aural skills, sight reading, music theory, improvisation and ensemble awareness through a progressive, performance-led curriculum.

For Ekamraj, his mentor plays an important role in that process—guiding his technique, encouraging his curiosity and helping him approach each new challenge with greater confidence. It is the kind of relationship where a lesson becomes more than instruction; it becomes a conversation between teacher, student and music.

With accomplished faculty, professional studios, premium acoustic and electronic drum setups, advanced music technology and a vibrant community of musicians, CMI gives students an environment in which practice naturally leads towards performance at Central Music Institute (CMI).

CMI Concerts, recitals, ensembles, masterclasses and structured grade-examination pathways further connect the studio to the wider musical world.

Ekamraj is at the beginning.

Few guitar tracks demand restraint quite like “Unholy Confessions” by Avenged Sevenfold—built on tight rhythm work, aggressive articulation, precision picking and the kind of rhythmic intensity that leaves very little room for imprecision. 🎸⚡

Some songs are remembered for their melody. Others stay with you because of the emotion carried between the notes. “Phir Le Aaya Dil” belongs beautifully to the latter. 🎙️✨
