BIOGRAFIA
Valerio Lucantoni è un batterista, compositore ed arrangiatore nato a Roma il 28/03/1988. Gli studi completati con alcuni dei più grandi batteristi Italiani e mondiali come Virgil Donati, Antonio Sanchez, Davide Pettirossi e Cristiano Micalizzi; le proprie esperienze Internazionali, 1° classificato al Croatia Drum Camp 2011, “Letter of Completion of 3 – Week Intensive Program” al Drummer Collective di New York; ne testimoniano passione ed attitudine. L’accurata ricerca sullo strumento, accompagnata da un’attenta ed appassionata cultura musicale generale, come teoria e armonia, lo rendono un musicista a 360 gradi.
Valerio è il compositore, arrangiatore e batterista del progetto The Wormhole Experience con cui nel 2016 ha pubblicato il suo primo disco Perseverance. Disco che nasce con l’idea di trovare il perfetto bilanciamento tra la potenza ritmica del Djent, le complesse strutture e time signature del Progressive, e la libertà d’improvvisazione appartenente alla Fusion. Le qualità ed il talento di Valerio, sono stati esaltati da Virgil Donati in un suo post ufficiale, rilasciato nel suo sito:
“Valerio is a fine young Italian drummer, whom I had the chance to coach at the Croatian Drum Camp last year. He is one of the next generation of players who will carry the torch of drumming into the future.”
Virgil Donati
“As a student of mine at The Drummers Collective in NYC, I am honored to have met and instructed Valerio during his short period of time spent at the school. I was so inspired by his musical comprehension, talent and drive to succeed as a drummer and was so pleased to see the material he was studying. At his age, it is incredibly refreshing to see someone who has a great command of the instrument and such a high level of understanding regarding the subject of “extreme” drumming. I have no doubt he will make a great name for himself in our special world-wide drumming community!”
Jason gianni (teacher at The Drummer Collective of New York)
“Valerio was the most impressive student of the 2011 Croatian Drum Camp. His advanced technique, positive attitude and willingness to listen and learn from the instructors made him the obvious choice to win the scholarship to Drummers Collective. His talents and positive attitude should carry him far in his career.”
Mike haid (Modern Drummer magazine contributing writer)
“In my 6 years as Artistic Director & Coordinator of CROATIA DRUM CAMP International Percussion Summer Courses, Valerio Lucantoni (attended in 2011) ranks in top 5 per cent of the most talented student-participants we have ever had. Valerio is extremely technically advanced, focused, driven, and ambitious. He is a true ‘go-getter’, fears nothing, and is willing to work hard towards achieving his professional goals. From a very subjective perspective, I put my money down on Valerio as guaranteed future success in the field of Solo-Performance and as a Drumset Clinician.”
