RUDIMENTS AROUND THE WORLD

I started playing Charley Wilcoxon solos during the pandemic lockdown, recording them at home as there was no other option. When the virus subsided and we started to come out of the burrows, I was able to record more solos…

DRUMMING DUEL

Here’s another drum duel! This time playing with one of my best and veteran students: Álvaro Velasco (drummer of  SodaPop and The Dharmas). He was eager to challenge himself, so I proposed “Roxanne” (as we both love The Police) to…

More Meshuggah?

DEFTONES COVER

Deftones are in my honorary top 10 list of favorite bands of all time, although “Gore” is neither my song nor my favorite album by the band, but its original linear rhythm of the verse captivated me at first listen…

SEPULTURA TRIBUTE
