RD HERNANDEZ project

RAUL HERNANDEZ FROM PINAR DEL RIO, CUBA. DRUMMER, PERCUSSIONIST, AND ALTO SAXOPHONE PLAYER. BORN ON 09/22/1973, I STARTED PLAYNG DRUMS AT THE AGE OF 18, WHEN A FRIEND OF MINE INVITED ME TO CHURCH AND TALK TO ME ABOUT JESUS CHRIST; I ACCEPT CHRIST AS MY SAVIOR THAT NIGHT, AND I LEARNED MY FIRST BEAT ON THE DRUMS AS WELL. I WAS VERY PASSIONATE FOR MY DRUMMING, I STARTED THINKING SERIOIUSLY ABOUT MY CAREER, AND LEAVING THE COUNTRY FOR MORE AND BETTER OPORTUNITY. I CAME TO THE UNITED STATES IN THE YEAR OF 1994, AND STARTED PLAYING DRUMS WITH DIFFERENT LOCAL BANDS; AND IT WAS ON 1998 WHEN I MET JOEY GILMORE, THE SOUTH FLORIDA'S BLUES LEGEND; I FORMED PART OF THE BAND FOR 09 YEARS, AND DURING THAT PERIOD OF TIME, WE RECORDED FEW PROJECTS. WE HAD THE CHANCE TO OPEN A LOT OF CONCERTS FOR FAMOUS BANDS AND ARTISTS LIKE KANSAS, BTO, ETTA JAMES, CHUCK BERRY, SOS, AND MORE. ALSO, WE PLAYED MANY BLUES FESTIVAL WHICH IT WAS AN EXCELLENT OPORTUNIITY FOR ME TO IMPROVE THE BLUES AND JAZZ'S TECHNIQUES. ON THE OTHER HAND, DUE TO MY LATIN BACKGROUND, I HAVE ALSO PERFOMED AS A PERCUSSIONIST; AND TODAY, I THANK GOD FOR GIVING ME THE GIFT OF PLAYING A NEW INSTRUMENT, AND USE IT FOR HIS KINGDOM, THIS IS THE ALTO SAXOPHONE. I SEE HOW GOD HAS BEEN BLESSING ME IN MY LIFE, THE SAME WAY HE CAN BLESSES YOU!
