Hello people!!! Thanks for checking out this page! My name is Daniel Tetreault, a Christian drummer and musician from Montreal, Canada. Many people recognize me from the kilt i tend wear when i play.
I use this page to post up random Drum Solos for anyone who wants to listen, as well as giving updates of my schedule!
I'm the drummer for the N.O.W (No Other Way youth ministries) and A.C.F (Ascension Christian Fellowship) Worship Bands, having the opportunity of playing every Saturday and Sunday with some increadible people and awesome musicians.
I also have the pleasure of working and playing with some musical greats such as Dave Martel (Onlyforward), Luc Dumont, Sebastien Demrey, Richard Toupin, Stephane Query, Dan Luiten, Jean-Michael Pothier, Luc Gingras, Jimmy Lehaie, Sebastien Corn, Andrianne LaFleur, Joane St-Hilaire, Maggie Blanchard, Richard Picotin and Yves-Aime Pierre. These guys are amazing!!! Super high five to them.
I have also worked on show productions with amazing Canadian artists such as Ima, Pascale Picard, Amanda Martinez, and Molly Johnson.
It's an honour and pleasure to say that I am a Los Cabos Drumsticks endorsed Aritst. These sticks are by far the best I've played, and the people behind them are fantastic! Please check out www.loscabosdrumsticks.com
I've been a drum teacher for over 7 years at a Montreal music store called "Musi-Tec", and have the chance to work with some fantastic students! Check out www.musi-tec.com for more info.
As for the obligatory credentials, I'll just mention a few events that were pretty meaningful to me. I won the "Player's Challenge" Open Category Drum Competition in Toronto, Ontario, through a store called "Just Drums" at the age of 15.
In late 2003, I recorded on the album "The Shine Overlying", a solo project by Montreal musician Ryan Baxter.
In March 2005; many bands and side projects later, I came 2nd place in the largest Drum Competition in Montreal, Quebec, called the "Drummer Kombat" (Finals played at Club Soda).
I attended and graduated from Vanier College, in Montreal, majoring in drumset and studying with the acclaimed instructor NASYR A. AL KHABYYR. Also working with ROBERT SLAPKOFF in percussion, classical training, and Afro-cuban styles, and Chris Smith and Jacques LaBelle in my third year theory and music training.
I finished with 2 diplomas, one in "Popular Music" (drumset major and sound recording) and a second in "Advanced Jazz composition and Arranging" (drumset major).
The easiest place to see me play regularly is at my church in Pierrefonds, Montreal, called Ascension Christian Fellowship (better known as A.C.F). Drop in some time- it's good for ya! www.ascensioncf.com .
