About me:
I was Born In Santa Barbara, California in 1981 and started playing drums at age three when my family relocated to Argentina
I started taking private drum lessons at age nine in Buenos Aires with local drumming instructors Jorge Buratovic and Emanuel Cauvet and continued for over ten years.
In 1999 I graduated from ITMC (Comtemporary Music Institute of Technology, Buenos Aires) and moved to California in 2000
In 2005 graduated from Musicians Institute of Technology in Hollywood California.
Recorded and performed several live shows with hard-funk band Idiot Savant in Santa Barbara and Los Angeles between 2000 and 2005.
Highlights include opening for Motörhead, The Misfits, Dashboard Confessional and played the Ernie Ball stage at Warped tour 2002. In 2005 I moved back to Buenos Aires, Argentina and worked there for two years
During 2005 and 2007 I was the drummer for the San Isidro Symphonic Orchestra in Buenos Aires, a 35 piece symphonic orchestra formed by well known teachers and performers from Buenos Aires, Argentina; we played Jazz, Swing, and Tango, performing live at many of Buenos Aires most prestigious venues.
I was also the recording drummer and drum programmer for music for TV and radio commercials in Argentina for EDA Music Studios during 2006/07.
Now I moved back to USA, but this time to Boca Raton, Florida where I teach drumming in my studios in Pompano Beach and West Boca Raton with two top of the line Mapex, Pearl, or Roland drum sets, Zildjian cymbals, computer, sequencer and drum machine for simulating being in a band, emphasis on playing as you would on a live situation.
Styles: Rock, Hard Rock, Latin, Afro-Cuban, Tango, Big Band, Jazz, Funk, Metal, double bass drumming.
