Session Drummer for Tours

Session drummer available for national and international tours with established or emerging bands, of any style. Own gear, experience on stages of every size, and the reliability a tour needs: learning the setlist fast, adapting to the band's sound, and keeping the level consistent night after night.

If your band needs to cover a tour because your regular drummer is unavailable, or you're looking for a session drummer for a full tour, I can join with a preparation window and flexible scheduling.

How it works

1

You send me the dates and setlist

Tour dates, cities, and the material you'll be playing (recordings, sheet music or references).

2

I prepare the material

I study the setlist and, when possible, we rehearse together before hitting the road.

3

I join you on tour

With my own gear when transport allows, or adapting to the backline available at each venue.

Who is this for?

  • ✓Bands without a permanent drummer that need to cover a national or international tour.
  • ✓Last-minute fill-ins due to the regular drummer's unavailability.
  • ✓Festival tours, adapting to schedules and shared backline.
  • ✓Any genre: rock, metal, pop and more.

Let's talk about your tour

Send me the dates, style and setlist and I'll get back to you with availability.

Frequently asked questions

Can you do international tours?
Yes. I'm available for national and international tours with bands of any genre. I have performed at festivals such as Brutal Assault, Alcatraz, Party.San, SWR Barroselas and Frantic Fest, with shows in Spain, France, Italy, Germany, Belgium, the Czech Republic, Portugal and Latvia.
Do you bring your own gear?
Yes, I work with my own gear. My live setup is two 20"×18" Mapex Mars Driftwood bass drums with UFIP Bionic Series cymbals and Axis pedals.
How long does it take to prepare a tour setlist?
For a 10-song setlist, the average preparation time is around 2 months. If your date is tighter, let me know from the start.
Can you play with click track and sequences?
Yes. I have a B-BEAT module that lets me program and trigger backing tracks and sequences, with separate sends for click and sequences. I can also play without a click, depending on how the band works.
