Angelo Gabriel Lapuz
Student and Musician in Philippines
Serving through the means of music, expressing through the drum set and communicating through collective improvisation. These three are my principles in drumming. I fell in love with music and drumming at an early age, I first learned in our local church and in 2019 I have decided to take up a Music Course for College. Now I am currently taking a bachelor's degree in jazz Drum Set at the University of Santo Tomas' Conservatory of Music.
My teacher Harald Huyssen, drummer of Shamrock and Glory fall, has taken me to a higher level through our Jazz Drum set program. I have been able to reach new heights, understand my instrument more, and most specially learn more about the music industry here in the Philippines. I have also learned a lot in the technical aspect of drum set, rudiments, grooves, and styles.
Currently I am the drummer and president of the UST Jazz Band. I also play for Soulution Worship, Akatsuki PH, ALYSSA, Jestur, SEFY, and Jan Romina. I am also a recording drummer for Soulution Worship, ALYSSA, and SEFY.
I really aspire to further enhance my jazz drumming while also exploring other genres that I am not comfortable with. Learning never stops, and I will enjoy every moment and opportunity where I can learn.
