Danny Laverde Drums

Drummer for Geoff Tate (founding member/vocalist of Queensrÿche) as well as Mark Daly & The Ravens — Danny Laverde is my guest this week! Danny has toured and performed across multiple countries. He gained early recognition from Modern Drummer magazine as an up-and-coming drummer in 2019 while touring with Mick Blankenship. Danny is Colombian-American, born in Los Angeles and raised in Cincinnati, OH. He is experienced in rock, prog metal, jazz fusion and Afro Cuban drumming. Danny met me in downtown Cincy during a rare break from the road. We talk about life on the road, his playing style & setup, influences & much more. Enjoy this conversation — and be sure to follow Danny on social media for all touring updates w/Geoff Tate & Mark Daly!
