WHY DO YOU PLAY COLLISION?
One of the things that I feel is deceiving about Collision is that there is nothing “flashy” about them, their designs are simple, their logo, albeit big, is also very simple.

“What do you get when you combine the subtlety of French Impressionism with the rhythmic flare of South American culture? Jose Duque’s ZUMBATRES”
– Michael Dawson, Modern Drummer Magazine
“JORODU” is an exceptional album on all counts. Brimming with memorable compositions and ample soloing room from the frontline, the rhythm section toggles between loose-groove metrics and shrewdly designed tight arrangements, spanning an extensive assortment of rhythmic configurations, where Jose R. Duque aka Jorodu firmly holds the reins.
