Juanes/studio session/onlinedrumtracks

Ive been playing drums since 1980 (11 years old) when I started back in Argentina following my parents musical steps (both piano players and ethnomusicologists). In 1997 I moved to Madrid, Spain and then to Miami in 2016. Ive always loved this beautiful instrument and I feel fortunate to make a living out of it. My mom got me my first Zildjian (a 16 Avedis crash) in 1984 and from that moment I instantly fall in love with these incredible cymbals!!! I started up playing in college bands and I became a pro in 1986 playing at the musical EVA back in Buenos Aires. Since then Ive been playing, touring and recording with a lot of great artists in Argentina, Spain and USA including Juanes Spinetta, Ketama, Coti, Nina Pastori, Presuntos Implicados, Mecano, Miguel Rios, Lito Vitale, Luis Salinas, Miguel Bose and my own band LeGa¼ero.
