We can work on technique, timing, groove, coordination, basic notation, learning songs, fills and better practice habits.

All ages are welcome. If you want to learn and put in the time, we'll build from where you are.

SESSION DRUMMING
Local session drumming.
I work with artists, bands and producers who need a drummer for local recording projects, original music, demos and arrangements. I listen to the song first, then work out a drum part that fits what the music needs.
Remote sessions are not currently offered.

ABOUT ME
Behind the kit.
I grew up in San Juan, Puerto Rico, fascinated by the percussion section of my church concert band. At 10, my parents gave me my first real drum: a Dixon maple piccolo snare that is still part of my setup today.
More than 20 years later, my experience spans concert and marching bands, school ensembles, jazz and pop groups, a Berklee College of Music summer program held in Puerto Rico and the DMV live music scene. Today I'm most active with Sparrøws, while also playing with Sidechip.
