ARTIST PROFILE
EMILIO MEDINA
mexico
band: 17/89
STICK SIZE: 5a
My name is Emilio Medina. I am from Mexico City. I started playing drums when I was 12 years old and I have been playing for 14 years now. My favorite genres to play are alternative, Indie, Rock/Pop and Metalcore. I started as a self-taught, but for the last four years I have been taking lessons with a professional Latin Jazz drummer from the Conservatory of Puerto Rico as I realised this could be my career and my full-time job.
I have been part of at least five bands. During this time, I have performed in many cities from Mexico (music festivals, venues, forums, etc.). Two years ago, I started a band that has had a lot of acceptance from the audience called “17/89”. We have released eight singles, four music videos and several acoustic sessions. We have just produced and released our first Live Stream which is available on Youtube. This year we will release our first album.
WHY DO YOU PLAY COLLISION?
I play with the 5A stick size. This has been my preferred size since I started to play the drums.
My favorite thing about the Collision brand is the professionalism and the way they make you feel like part of the family since the very first moment.
I would recommend Collision Drumsticks because they have great quality, balance and rebound. The drum fills can be performed easily due to the perfect weight of the sticks.
