There are two types of drummers: those who want to be the star of the show, and those who make the band hit hard and get the crowd moving.
I have seen great live shows fall apart because the person in the back lost the tempo, did not know the songs, or had more ego than rehearsal time.
My name is Sergio Jiménez, and I have been hitting stages and studios since 2011. If you are reading this, you probably need someone who sits at the kit, nails the tracks without losing the groove, and saves you sleepless nights.
I live in Madrid and I go wherever you need me, in Spain or abroad.
The Problem and the Solution
Most musicians have a reputation for being chaotic, late, and unorganized. I don’t.
With an engineering and competitive athlete background, I plan my life down to the millimeter. Why do I tell you this? Because I apply the same work ethic when you send me your setlist.
I show up to rehearsal with the tracks ready, soundcheck on time, and push the band forward on stage. End of story.
My Services
- Fill-ins: Did your drummer bail a week before the gig? Breathe, send me the setlist, and we will save the date.
- Tours & Live: I will be the engine behind your band, adapting to whatever your show demands.
- Studio: We come to record, not to practice. Hard hits, locked to the click, saving the producer hours of editing.
