Professional Drum Tracks by Yamaha & Vic Firth International Artist – Versatility, Experience & Passion

Hi! I'm Leonardo Álvarez — professional drummer, educator, and international artist for Yamaha Drums and Vic Firth. With over 25 years of experience in performance, studio work, and education, I bring precision, groove, and a deep understanding of style to every recording I deliver.

Originally from General Roca, Argentina, I moved to Buenos Aires in 1997 and studied under the legendary Daniel "Pipi" Piazzolla. Since then, I’ve developed a multifaceted career that blends performance, education, and leadership in the music industry.

I currently teach over 40 drum students each semester at IUPA Music University, where I lead the Professional Drummer major. I’m also the founder and director of a leading music school in Buenos Aires, where a team of 14 educators provides top-level training in Tango, Jazz, Latin folk, Rock, Pop, and more. The school is open to aspiring professionals and passionate hobbyists alike, offering private lessons, ensemble practice, seminars, and workshops.

I’ve recorded on more than 40 albums and performed in high-profile musical theater productions like Eva, the Argentine Musical (with Nacha Guevara and Alberto Favero) and Astor Piazzolla’s Maria de Buenos Aires. My playing adapts easily to many genres, always honoring the unique spirit of each song.
