Live Session Drummer - Versatile and skilled in the interpretationes of different music styles.
Hi! I'm Alejandro Pérez Schuster, a session drummer from Bogotá, Colombia.
I've been doing online and in-person sessions for over 8 years and I'm versatile and skilled in the interpretation of various musical styles.
Those of us who are drummers know that our instrument is one of the most complex to record, both because of the number of microphones and channels it requires, and because of the space and acoustics it requires.
One of the main pursuits in my journey as a musician has been to find the best way to record my instrument. In this path I have had the opportunity to reach that ideal and unique space, where I can try and experience the various recording techniques, having everything that is necessary to be part of your musical projects.
I would like to share my recording studio with you!
