From that moment he never got away from the drums, and music in general, especially Rock and Metal, but he liked Jazz too, after listening to The Jazz Messengers, by Art Blakey.
Once he had his own drums, in 1994, he began to play on some bands until he formed part of WarCry, in 1997.
After the band's split he played on many other bands, like Darna and DarkSun.
Meanwhile, he was part of an orchestra and various groups with different music-styles, such as Blues, Jazz and Pop. Receiving classes from various music-professors like Félix Morales. He combines his music with intense activity with the facet of durum-professor.
