When i was 15 years old, me and my friend Steve were playing congas in the back of a San Mateo music store. In comes the legendary Armando Pereza. He comes over to check out my beginner skills. He then gave us a performance of a lifetime, changing the way i looked at drums forever. Thank you Armando.
