Juan toured through Japan with artsists Valentine and Valensia. He was on tour in California with acoustic guitarist Peppino D'Agostino. With Steve Lukather he played in the Amsterdam Heineken Hall. He performed in an eight-concert tour with Walter Trout in Holland, as part of a tribute to Jimi Hendrix. Although Juan's music is influenced by funk, jazz and Latin, his way of playing has turned into a strong grooving rock-based style, combined with percussion flavoured arrangements. Having met acoustic guitarist Peppino D'Agostino (USA) and Stef Burns (USA)created a new and exciting challenge for Juan. Working with both Peppino and Stef meant 'the freedom to play more than just drums; by using more dynamics and even more colourful sounds.' For these concerts on tours in Italy, Juan designed a special stage set-up that continues to serve his acoustic adventures and his outstanding creative imagination. And that ain´t all!!Because of his passion for creative sounds and innovation, he is now working several years on new tools and instruments with the company called: "Albrando". With the first products we probably will hit the market sooner than you think! Stay tuned for more news on that item! Besides being a performer, Juan teaches for more than 15 years! In 1992 he started his private drumschool and for years he taught to more than 45 students on a weekly base. In 1998 he started to do clinics and workshops in The Netherlands. Since 2000 he teaches at the Conservatorium at Rotterdam (now known as "CODARTS"), to teach well-talented students from all over Europe of which many of them have become exellent international artists!
