Accepted Answer

To give you a ballpark, Arpit's performance fees generally range between **₹6,000 and ₹45,000**. Why the wide range? It heavily depends on the nature of the gig.

Question 9

Does Arpit require any specific technical setup at the venue?

Accepted Answer

Yes, like any professional Instrumentalist, sound quality is key. While Arpit brings his own instruments (Tabla, Djembe, etc.), the venue usually needs to provide the amplification. You'll likely need specific microphones for percussion instruments to capture the low ends of the Cajon or the crisp highs of the Darbuka. If you're booking him for a large hall, a proper sound check with a sound engineer is non-negotiable to ensure the audience hears every beat clearly.
