Ace Indian percussionist Sivamani, who is currently preparing for an international tour with Oscar winner A.R. Rahman, revealed that he likes to practise his beats on pillows first. "Even now, I practise my beats on pillows first. Pillows have bounce. When the same rhythm is played on drums, the rhythm is magnified three times," Sivamani told during an interview on the sidelines of a concert titled 'RIFF Rustle' at the Rajasthan International Folk Festival in Jodhpur on Sunday. Right now, the percussionist is working on a new crossover album 'One world Fusion' for which he travels to San Francisco. "It is a global fusion album with Indian percussion. It features Janet Aris on the saxophone and Michael Frank on the keyboards. I am also setting out on a seven-stop 'Jai Ho' tour with A.R. Rahman to Chennai, Hyderabad, Bangalore, Kolkata, Kuwait and Sydney next month. My hands are full," the drummer said.
