Eloy Valles:

Singer, songwriter, stixman and principal song arranger who has

been playing drums for 25 years and singing for 20...

mostly self taught but learned the fundamentals of music in high school.

Most of my musical influences are rock bands from the late 70s and early

80s, I’m a classic rock guy, I love those years, not just because they are

from my fond memories of adolescence, but because rock music was very big on drums in those years, the big drum sets and the "around the world" drum fills .

Those were the years that the drums really made their mark in rock music.

 

Good gear makes a better player, so I have had several drum sets through out

my years of playing.

 

My main set is an anniversary Sonor in rosewood finish, and my other sets

include a Ludwig super classic fusion set up "sweet and powerfull"

a Sonor vintage 60s 3 piece also in rosewood finish "mellow ambiant tone"

and a Ludwig classic a la Bonzo  that is complete "tonal-thunder"

 

All my cymbals are Zildjian "I grew up with them" and are simply the best,

and am currently playing Vic Firth sticks, I switched from Promark ‘cause

they use lighter wood and allow me to roll faster.

 

A great deal of thanks goes out to everyone that has supported us and

everyone that digs our music. We make it because we like for you guys

to enjoy so rock on !!!
