"With 20 years of drumming, Carlo's personal experiences have helped shape him to become a versatile player for all kinds of styles of music (from Mexican Banda, to Funk, to Fusion, to Hard Rock, to Grunge, to Pop, to Musical Theater, etc.) His ability to play appropriately for the situation or venue continues to be a valuable quality that people appreciate and enjoy, including those who generally don't enjoy the drums, and is usually more impressive to the ear than hearing a drummer pulling out all the crazy chops. Quickly learning, being able to listen to the other musicians in the group, and watching visual cues make playing with Carlo feel like familiar territory even for those playing with him for the first time (even when Carlo is playing a song he has never heard before and is just "following along"). His multi-instrumental talents on the bass and electric guitar allow him to understand the music in a much broader level than just another drummer playing drums to a song. Carlo doesn't just play along with the music. He communicates with the drums as his voice, along with the other musicians, in the conversation called music."

"Continuously learning, Carlo understands that there is always something new to work on. But the challenges are a breath of fresh air and a motivation to continue to pursue excellence in all the opportunities that come his way."
