NYC drummer & percussionist delivering deep pocket, warm tone, and musical feel. Modern grooves, intimate textures, and pro-quality recordings.
Hey, I’m Roberto, a New York–based drummer and percussionist.
My focus is simple: great feel, beautiful sound, and parts that make your song breathe.
I work across modern pop, alt-R&B, indie, cinematic, and singer-songwriter styles, always keeping the groove warm and supportive. i have 20+ years of high-level performance experience, both live and studio. My background also includes years in the jazz world, so I bring dynamics, sensitivity, and strong musical instincts to every track.
I love creating drum and percussion parts that feel personal and alive — whether that’s a subtle shaker layer, a deep pocket groove, or an atmospheric texture that lifts the whole production.
What I can bring to your track:
• Deep, steady pocket that sits right in the mix
• Warm, understated grooves for pop / R&B / indie
• Percussion layers: cajon, bongos, frame drum, shakers, tambourine, brush textures
• Hybrid setups with SPD-SX and custom samples
• Cinematic / atmospheric drum textures
• Tasteful jazz-inflected color when needed
• Clean stems, clear communication, fast turnaround
The goal is always the same:
serve the music, elevate the vibe, and make something that feels good every time you listen back.
Let’s build something beautiful.
