  • WHAT INSPIRES YOU?

    The most significant moment for me as a drummer was when I merged the Afro-Peruvian rhythms with Jazz and started spreading this sound around the world.

  • WORDS OF WISDOM FOR THE NEXT GENERATION OF DRUMMERS

    I'm creative when I play with my drums and percussion ensemble and explore the fusion of different genres and sounds.

  • FAVORITE ZILDJIAN CYMBAL/COMBO

    I feel very comfortable playing with the 5A EXTREME drumsticks for their versatility, ideal weight and the vibration that flows from the drum to the sticks.
