Alberto De Grandis

Drummer & Composer

About Me

Top league progressive rock/fusion band. And Alberto De Grandis shows us what an incredibly damn good drummer he is! Tore Røsbjørgen, Mr. Blues' Train World Of Music, Norway----------- Cascades of complex and intricate musical puzzles, seemingly endless changes of themes, moods, tempos, time signatures, tonal and atonal moves, long and short, but always enjoyable and virtuoso solos, with a wonderful work by the chef in the kitchen with all those dishes-plates-cymbals and all amazingly diverse toys prepared by Alberto De Grandis with a scorching drumfire. Impressive. A live masterpiece. 5 1/2 stars Vitalij Menshnikov, Progressor, Uzbekistan/Russia------------ DFA absolutely kicked ass with this live CD. The two stars are the keyboardist, Maestro Alberto Bonomi, who was all over the place, and the drummer, Alberto De Grandis, who pretty well ran a clinic on how to play. Often, while executing all this whirlwind activity on the drum set, he'd be singing at the same time, which is an almost ridiculous display of talent. Sean McFee, Gnosis, Canada---------- What's even better the sound of the album is impressively solid and huge, and the drummer Alberto De Grandis' razor-sharp talent sends the band into a spiraling attack just as quickly as into a jazzy improvisation, while his bandmates challenge each other in a frenzied flurry of notes that spell "quality" at every step.
