As a session drummer, Felipe prides himself on his instincts as to what the music needs, for any style or performer. It’s never about “Him.” That makes him an in demand musician, besides being easy to work with as a person.

He specializes in teaching from beginners to advanced players on drum set and orchestral percussion, reading, rudiments, and various styles of music. Felipe proudly endorses Evans Drumheads, DDrum Electronics, Amedia Cymbals, Warlock Drums, Vic Firth  KICKPORT, Maxonix, Latin Percussion®, Cympad, and Drum Wallet.
