Hi Guys!
In these weird times that we’re going through with the worldwide pandemic hitting us, I’ve been really lucky to have the chance to play music with some friends remotely and keep my teaching routine going. If ever you want some lessons, make sure to hit me up via e-mail, or directly, using this link,  https://www.lessonface.com/instructor/pierre-lalonde . Teaching on LessonFace has been great and I recommend it to all of my friends both for teaching and taking lessons as well.

I do have more projects on the go that’ll be released a little later. But here’s what’s been published so far since the isolation has started.

Highway Star – Deep Purple Cover by JackDillo Ft. Leonardo Massoni on the B3

Here’s a song called Tempo Atrás by André Sarmanho. Check out his Youtube Channel, he has some amazing stuff going on there.

Nothing but Time – Roxy Searle (Isolation Sessions). This is with a good friend of mine who was the master mind behind this song, Owen Stephen.

This one here, is a song/standard by Freddie Hubbard that I covered with my Friend Fabricio Martins who’s a great Keys player and Producer from Londrina.

This is a Drum Cover of 50 Ways to Leave your Lover by Paul Simon

And a Cover of Lover’s Paradise with Mr. Josh Blues and Co.

Hi Guys,
In the last few months I’ve been working on a crazy amount of projects, from Jazz to Progressive Rock as well as some Drum Workshops and Private lessons. I’ve been really inspired to help other musicians increase their capacities and get more focus while drumming. Here’s a blog post from Guilherme @Studio427 sharing some information from my latest clinic on Stick Control and Syncopation.

Like I also mentioned, I’ve been playing in lots of different projects and its been great for my drumming. I’ve been learning a lot about the skillsets I’ve acquired over the last few years and how they all work together within different styles.

Got lots in the works, I’m looking forward to share more material with you, but in the mean time,
Stay Tuned,
PL

(The 5 pilars of American Drumming) – another Blog Post from Guilherme @Studio427

Hi Guys!
I’m writing to you from my vacation! Yes, I’m back in Canada for about 20 days when I’ll head back to Brasil to continue growing my music work there. Things have been going very well, playing and subbing for different bands and I’m very happy with the growth I’ve been doing both in my business and playing. I’m still working on growing my teaching schedule on LessonFace and still I’m really excited about it, its such a nice platform.

At this moment I’m packing some of my stuff so that when I head back mid November I can finish setting up my studio into a full drum recording space. I’ll then be launching my Fiverr Page where I’ll be offering recordings for people’s albums all over the world. Once set up I’ll be posting videos of the gear I have ready to track for other people and work on some quick 3-4 minute online drum lessons, in french to start, and eventually I’ll probably translate them as well.

I’m really excited about all the work I’m doing and will be doing in the next little bit!
Stay Tuned!

Hi Guys!
Its September and I’m changing gears and working into my new online drum lesson schedule. I have a few spots available for students from all over the world to join me over the internet to learn drums. I’m doing so by teaming up with LessonFace which is a great online lesson platform so I can reach more people and cater specially to the people that live outside of the big centers where you have the most access to drum lessons.

Here are my promo videos! Please share them with your friends and family. Lessons are available both in French and English.

I’m very excited to get to play more every month in this city.

Hi guys!
Here is my update for the month of July! I’ve been relaxing, playing some jazz gigs and working on rendering some of the videos I collected from the Horizon. Below are 2 videos that I managed to get out from our 2019 New Year Eve celebrations.

I’m also happy to be subbing in Hocus (Hocus Pocus) here in Londrina for the “Dia International do Rock” (International Rock Day) during the Music Festival that they have here on July 13th.

More stuff coming up. Stay Tuned!
