Credits: Jeff Scott Soto, Geoff Tate, Jason Bieler, David Ellefson, Devin Townsend, All Pitrelli, Joel Hoekstra and many more. Touring and recording drummer for 26 years. I can navigate through many styles like rock, hard rock, pop, indie, alternative, pop country, etc.
I can deliver a killer sounding drum track playing my Roland ekit or I can give you a MIDI file ready to drop on your favorite drum library. I work with Superior Drummer 3 and Slate Drums, I have hundreds of kits and sounds to choose from. I recorded many albums from renowned artists using this method.

Edu is one of the best producers I've had the pleasure to work with. All I gave him to go off of was a basic demo, and he got me the perfect drums for my song within just a day. When the song had a small change later in production, he also got me a revision ASAP. Easy to work with, fast, and most importantly great product. I will definitely look Edu up again next time I need some great drums
Extremely talented musician. Plays drums and sings with equal ease and precision. Truly understands the drummer's role in a band, whether in rock, pop, country, heavy metal...that makes your song sounds even better
One of the best drummers that i have the pleasure to work with. Extremely musical, play for the music, pop/rock solid!
