Roberto Narain

The DRUMJAM team is headed by Roberto Narain, whose talent and experience as a drummer is complemented by his people skills and expertise in leading rhythm-based activities.

Roberto's musical credentials are impressive. He has been playing the drums for close to thirty years now and has performed in a variety of styles on stages across India and the world. Roberto has worked with musicians such as L. Subramaniam and Konarak Reddy, and his Carnatic music studies with T.A.S. Mani of the Karnataka College of Percussion have added depth and richness to his drumming. His solo performances on the Roland V-Drums, the first of which was 'Sounds from My Mind', have given audiences a chance to experience the delights of textual drumming enhanced by eye-catching visuals. Roberto is currently the brand ambassador for Roland, Japan.

Trained by the well-known Arthur Hull of Village Music Circles, Roberto has facilitated programmes for corporate houses including IBM, Microsoft, Infosys, Wipro, Oracle India, Accenture India, HSBC, Credit Suisse, General Motors, Apollo Tyres, Reuters India, Medtronic, BIAL, 3M, SAP India, Box Office India and Shark Tooth among others. Roberto is one of the leading trained corporate drum circle facilitators in the country, and is a member of the international Drum Circle Facilitators’ Guild.

In addition to his considerable musical talent, Roberto is also well-tuned to the finer points of business. As an entrepreneur, he has played a key role in the modernisation of the gold jewellery market in India, in accordance with international standards and business practices. He has made an equal success of various kinds of businesses. These aspects give Roberto an edge when it comes to understanding organisational and team goals, and customising DRUMJAM sessions to align with such objectives.
