Sounds Like: "Joantoni on his drums makes sure that the most delicate passages - which are lighter than air - and the sonic devastation passages, are all executed with physical perfection. Elements of latin flavor, sheer punk aggression and gritty hip-hop pulses are mixed and mastered within his abilities"
