About Me

Hi, my name is Eddy, and I'm happy to say that I'm a percussionist. I'm really into a whole range of music, especially contemporary, Cuban, Brazilian and classical, although anything goes really. I've had the opportunity to do some great gigs and work with some outstanding musicians, for which I'm very grateful (please check out my bio for the full details). I'm also the percussionist/timpanist with Southbank Sinfonia for their 2008 season, so check out www.southbanksinfonia.co.uk those gigs. I'm in the middle of recording a whole bunch of music, so I’ll put it up ASAP, but for now you'll have to put up with this track by DJ Spooky, which I think rocks - Eddy.
