Amit joined Indian Ocean in 1994, although being the youngest in the team,
he is the most reconizable and successful band member ever since. Amits
drumming is a happy balance between the conventional and non-conventional.
He believes in layering rhythm rather than heavy drums, and prefers simplicity
over technical wizardry. He incorporates Indian rhythms into his drumming in a
unique fashion, moving in cycles of 8, 10, 12 14, 16, rather than simple 4/4 or styles.
He goes easy on the skins, yet his playing is very dynamic. Amit was introduced to
music at the age of 4 by his parents, learning the guitar (hawaiian - Indian classical).
He is an instinctive musician, picking up all kinds of instruments with ease,
and he sings well too!
