GLENN PINTO DRUMMER/EDUCATOR

Glenn grew up listening to his dad's vinyl collection of latin, pop, jazz, reggae, and rock. His drumming journey started in 1984. Playing professionally without any formal lessons, it took him quite some time to arrive where he is at right now.

Glenn has been a professional drum teacher for the past 20 years and has helped students find their voice on the drum set. He has recorded and toured extensively with the finest musicians from the Indian music industry.

Glenn currently plays with various dance/jazz bands and is a firm believer in being an eternal student of the drum set. He also endorses Pearl Drums.

  • WHAT INSPIRES YOU?

    The universe inspires me to LIVE a rhythmic life. Everything inside and outside of me flows in rhythm. I just cannot take my attention off this rhythmic journey 24/7. In 1984 when I began playing drums, I started watching and listening to Bondo, an amazing drummer/percussionist here in Goa (my birthplace), then I went on to listen and watch Ranjit Barot, Trilok Gurtu, Sivamani, Babush Santana, Dennis Chambers, Elvin Jones, Dave Weckl, Antonio Sánchez, Horacio El Negro Hernandez, Ignacio Beroa, Dafnis Prieto and the list goes on. Listening and watching these incredible artists keeps my heart beating.

  • WORDS OF WISDOM FOR THE NEXT GENERATION OF DRUMMERS

    BELIEF is a prayer. If you love to do something, put in the time be dedicated. Stay on your path – you will get there. Above all, be like a SPONGE and learn and practice all the time. There is no such thing as GIFT. Every human being is GIFTED – we only have to recognize this and keep keeping on.

  • FAVORITE ZILDJIAN CYMBAL/COMBO

    The K Custom Special Dry Ride is my favorite cymbal on this planet. I used to dream about this cymbal back in the day. The CREATOR made it possible for me to have it through ZILDJIAN – Thank you. I also love the K Custom Dark series like the splashes and crashes for their HEAVENLY texture. I love the 20” K Ride, too – it goes well with many genres.
