I'm Facu Alvarez,
a session drummer you can count on

Whether it's a tour, a one-off, or a full theatre season, I show up prepared and make things easier for the artist, MD, band, and crew. 

About me

I’m Facu Alvarez — a professional drummer based in Melbourne, Australia. With over 15 years of live experience, I’ve played everything from festivals and pop gigs to corporate shows and cruise ship productions. I show up prepared, lock in quickly, and make it easy for artists, MDs, and producers to do their thing.

​

When I’m not behind the kit, I help drummers improve their sight-reading or break into cruise ship gigs.

🎧 Includes Play-Along tracks and lifetime access to our private Facebook Group where you can ask any question about the book any time.
