I played drums on, engineered and mixed albums with guest artists such as Billy Sheehan (David Lee Roth, Mr Big, Winery Dogs), Steve Maggiora (keyboards-Toto), Roger Joseph Manning, Jr, (Jellyfish, Beck, The Lickerish Quartet, Cheap Trick), Eric Dover (Jellyfish, The Lickerish Quartet), Tim Smith (Jellyfish, Sheryl Crow), Jon Auer (The Posies)
Hello. I'm a drummer/mixing engineer and I've been working out of my studio since 2011.
I appreciate full-sounding recordings with a sheen and always strive to produce them, but I can do the lo-fi thing, too, whatever the client wants.
I consider myself a very "musical" drummer, who loves many different styles - hard rock, metal, soul, funk, country, americana, alternative, classical, reggae and pop and I draw from all of these styles.
In addition to the above-mentioned artists, I've also worked with the following...
Fernando Perdomo (Jakob Dylan, Fiona Apple, Norah Jones, Beck, Brian Wilson)
Jeffrey Foskett (Beach Boys, Brian Wilson, Heart)
Mike Nocito (Pink Floyd, The Police, XTC, Lenny Kravitz, Big Country, The Cure)
Ted Z and the Wranglers
Farrington
Derrick Anderson (The Bangles)
I've also played drums on, engineered and produced three critically acclaimed albums for Farrington.

Endorse Marcos de la Cruz
check_circleVerifiedMarcos was a pleasure to work with with! Communication was very friendly and professional. He's a terrific drummer with a great sense for what the song needs. I would love to work with Marcos again anytime!
Marcos joined my band in 2019 and has been a valuable asset as both drummer and recording engineer/mixer.
His drum parts always fit the song and his feel is great.
The mixes are powerful and dynamic and a pleasure to listen to.
I'd highly recommend Marcos as both a drummer and mixer.I've played with Marcos numerous times. He is a musician and not just a guy who owns a drumset. He sings, and really knows the material. His feel for songs is perfect. He makes the music sound correct with zero flaws.
I've used Marcos for his drumming and his mixing talents.
As a mixing engineer, he produces great mixes where each instrument has its own sonic space. Great clarity and impact.
As a drummer, his patterns really drive and serve the songs. He pays particular attention to what kind of snare tone will best fit your music.
