Pandit Shalil Shankar, a famous sitarist, invited Subhankar to travel overseas with him. He learned numerous music lessons the hard way during this nine-month tour since the senior musician was a strict taskmaster. This experience taught him to recognize the needs of each performer Subhankar supported. He also started listening to historical recordings of tabla maestros, analyzing their approach and learning about their unique patterns. That enabled him to add a new depth to his solo shows.
