I’m Juan, drummer from Quito, Ecuador, and I currently live in Nashville, Tennessee.
I play, record, and tour with several artists in genres ranging from rock and metal to country and jazz.
Check out some shows I've played, recent songs I've played on, my lessons, and contact me for all inquiries.
I'm very passionate about teaching, and I've been lucky to have taught great drummers of all skill levels.
Certain concepts, such as permutation, dynamics, intent, and many others, have helped me improve and continuously find more to practice. These are some of the things I work on with students, along with topics like:
- Double kick playing
- Technique, posture, and mobility
- Improvisation and chops
- Reading and transcribing
and a lot more.
On this page you'll find free PDFs of some exercises I teach my students and also practice myself.
If you want to study with me, simply contact me and let me know how I can help.
