Vladimir’s first musical experience started during high school at the age of 15. Soon after, he joined a few bands in which he performed at different events for school. It did not take him too long to realize that music was his passion, and continues to be in the present. He obtained his music degree in 2014 and has been teaching ever since. He studied with the most renowned drummers in Colombia, including Fran Calzadilla, Daniel Chebair, and Alex Martinez. Vladimir’s drumming style is very adaptable and dynamic, with a heavy influence of Rock, Jazz and Funk. For Vladimir, it is always a thrill to show and inspire his students from different ages and welcome them into the drumming world. His rate is $31/half hour.
