My approach is to propel, and enhance the rhythm session of any professional level band in any style, or combination of styles. I consider myself a VERY VERSATILE drummer that can play hybrid drumming between styles, l am very adaptable, and comfortable with creativity, or even theatrical performances. My studies include years of private lessons from Drummer & Percussionist Antonio Sanchez from the Conservatory of Music in Puerto Rico, among many other talented teachers, also studied applied music at Schoolcraft College, and belonged to the Big Band, under conductor, and teacher Ricardo Laselva. l performed also with the small Jazz Combo from Schoolcraft College as a Timbales prayer, and seasonal drummer. Had the opportunity to perform with Weing Bergeron , and other artists. l have played with many diverse bands in many different styles combined with course work while an active seasonal member of the School craft College Jazz big band, & small improvisation Jazz ensemble. l have participated in many clinics, and workshops with drummers such as Eric Singer from Kiss/Alice Cooper, Dave Welck, Akira Jimbo, and many others. lf l am the kind of drummer you need, which is humble, knowledgeable, flexible,experienced, a team player, and would want me to become a member of your band, or music project, please feel free to contact me.
