As a drummer and percussionist, I studied in Cuba between 1998-2002, achieving the Diploma to the Esquela Nacional de Arte a l`Havana with honours.

After many prestigious collaborations performing live and in the studio in the Italian and international jazz scene, I decided to move to London in November 2012, where I quickly grew to be an important figure on the London jazz scene.

My style reflects my open-minded approach to music, mixed with a deep knowledge of the tradition of the roots of jazz.

Fifteen years experience in drum teaching.

I've had the pleasure performing at Ronnie Scott's jazz Club, London’s Hyde Park, Pizza Express, 606 Jazz Club, The Royal Albert Hall and many other places in London and around Europe.

"Emiliano is an excellent teacher, he's very energetic and dedicated. His lessons follow a clear progression and they always include technique, coordination and timing exercises, and of course playing to music. He's the right teacher for anyone who's serious about learning the drums in a relaxed and fun atmosphere!"

"Emiliano is certainly a great drummer with a lot of experience, and his approach to teaching is easy, immediate and just so right that it’s not definable by words. He gives you what you need, by finding out exactly what you need to improve on and teaches you in the way that fits you as an individual. Furthermore, his experience as a drummer allows him to give the student precious tips that some may find extremely helpful. (As I personally did), It's not easy to find great drummers that are also great teachers. However, he is one of them!"
