Hi, I'm Adriano an educator a drummer a metal vocalist a percussionist a composer a producer there for you!
Hello, Adriano here - I'm glad you found your way to my website! As my name might suggest, I was born in Rome ('95), but I grew up in Vienna from a very young age. That's why I'm not only fluid in German and English, but can also converse a little Italian.
My passion for music was encouraged very early and so after early musical education (EMP) I got piano lessons at the age of 5, until I finally got to choose drums at the age of 12!
After an implied career in the natural sciences (chemistry & physics), I decided to changed my focus to working as a music educator to be able to work with people.
I would describe myself as a very empathetic, patient and helpful person, which fortunately forms a solid foundation for the practice of my profession. Since I like to engage with people on an individual level and creatively deal with different needs, I very much enjoy giving one-to-one lessons and as a private music teacher I am also not bound to any fixed curriculum or teaching goals.
General information
Drums
The starting point of my career as a drummer was in 2007, when I - fueled by a great interest in rock & metal music - was no longer interested in piano lessons. Soon followed the first bands and live performances in which I professionalized further. Over time, in addition to the harder music more and more fields of interest came up and at the latest during my studies, which had a high focus on jazz and required a wide range of styles, I came into contact with a great variety of possibilities to use my instrument.
- 2007-2011 drum lessons with Werner Kolic (Beatboxx)
- Live and studio experiences with different bands and various styles of music (Rock, Pop, Metal, Jazz / Fusion, Funk, Hip-Hop, Latin, …)
