Franco Pellicani

I have 20 years of experience in drumming and 9 years in teaching. I am proficient in a wide variety of music styles, including Jazz, Rock, Pop, Funk, Afro-cuban, Brazilian, Metal, Free-form and improvised. I am a confident sight reader, a quick learner and I am comfortable with click tracks. I also have skills in music theory, history of music, music production and arrangement.  Always heavily involved into my regional music scene, I moved to London in 2019 to share paths with the group “Tankus The Henge”, with which I have toured extensively across the UK and Europe, leading large-stage performances at the likes of Glastonbury, Boomtown, Transmusicales, Isle of Wight, and hundreds of medium-sized festivals and venues.  Throughout my professional career, I have recorded and performed as a session musician and as a core member of a vast array of projects, including soundtrack, function and original music, some of which have also seen me in production roles. I studied BA in Jazz Drums at the “Conservatorio di Musica di Perugia” and privately with Gregory Hutchinson, Roberto Gatto, Christian Meyer and Ron Savage, amongst others.
