Drums with Frederico P.

I am a professional drummer, well known within the international community, and I'm an experienced musician who has worked with bands and groups all over the country, at Miami, California, Boston, and one of South Florida’s top locally- based drummer. All of this makes me one of the unchallenged players in our music industry at Florida. I have recorded, toured and performed as a drummer with Protocol Jazz Band, Mix Brazil Samba, Paulo Gualano Brazilian Carnaval, Someday Radio, Vinyl rock band, Alex Petronouv singer, and far too many other projects too completely. After a life time of learning, I took my unique style from Copacabana, Brazil to the clubs and concert halls of the world. Formal lessons initially in Brazil with Pascoal Meireles, but further followed studies at the Musician’s Institute, M.I., in Los Angeles, California under the direction of the legendary drum instructor Joe Porcaro. I have a unique presence, approach and distinctive talent. I have a large number of professional credits, including dates with Nichole Nordeman, Mark Schultz, and Cowboy Troy as well as an American Tour with the Brazilian singer Eliana Pittman with a record Live CD in Miami, plus opening act at Contemporary Rock Gospel Tour for famous bands as Sweet Foot, Five Iron Frenzy, Audio Adrenaline, Small Town Poets, Jars of Clay and others. I am very passionate for my art and very creative, with my style, easily crossing borders between rock, pop, jazz and modern music. My creative fusion adds a world-class touch to any type of sound. I want to help you and nurture your interest and inspire you to develop a life long passion that offers countless benefits. *** Lesson Details *** Looking to learn or improve your skills on drums?
