FRAN MERANTE - Drum Session for "EL NIÑO" - By Fayeed Tan 

Here is the drum session I did for a tune called El Niño by Fayeed Tan. Fayeed is an AMAZING guitar player and composer from the Philipines and I was so very fortunate to have him invite me to play on his latest CD! You really need to check out this latest project from Fayeed because every tune is just AMAZING and his playing is WORLD CLASS!! You can learn more about Fayeed by checking out his Facebook page here: https://www.facebook.com/fayeedtan

I also wanted to take this opportunity to share with you what I consider to be IMHO some of the best sounding snare drums available today, Acoutin Custom Snare Drums. I DO NOT have an affiliation with Acoutin Snares. I am merely telling you about these snares cuz ya REALLY NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THEM if ya don't already!! You can learn more about these drums by Cooper Acoutin here: http://www.drumcenternh.com/acoutin-drums.html
