Gino Banks (drums) - Aaj Ki Raat

Recording the drums for “Aaj Ki Raat” with Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy for DON was an incredible experience, blending creativity with the energy of an iconic Bollywood track. Now, re-recording the song and making a video feels like reconnecting with a defining moment in my recording career.
It’s rewarding to revisit the track from my current perspective, seeing how my approach and interpretation have grown over time. Sharing this on RUclips lets me offer fans a closer look at the drumming behind the song, breaking down the beats that give it that unique pulse.
This video is more than a performance-it’s a tribute to the journey, the song, and my collaboration with Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy, bringing something fresh yet familiar to the audience.
