When Watching Diego play, one can wonder if it’s him playing drums or the drums playing Diego…These 2 are one. They both seem to be an extension of each other and THAT is a fascinating experience. At the age of 10, while little boys usually spend their time puling little girls’ hair or throwing rocks at windows in the neighborhood, Diego doesn’t just do that. He also attends drumming lessons, applying his teacher’s instructions with passion and determination. After his first professional audition at 18, it’s on the road with various bands that he will hone his skill and technique. His unique skin bashing style, precision and energy will soon be noticed by big-name rock bands with whom he will eventually tour the US. Diego also collaborated in arranging many Prog Metal, Hard Rock or Pop Rock albums in the US as well as in Europe. He has a real talent for listening, understanding, catching the intention of the music and feeding it what it needs to be brought to a higher level. More recently he founded in Switzerland the very original and percussive band BPM. His precision, his uncommon energy and hard driving beat bring to Manitu’ s music the color and light that the band was looking for. Moreover, his humor and personality complete perfectly the « Manitu Family » spirit.
