Diego Cardini

Founder of TheDrumNinja

I’m crazy about drums, it’s been my passion since I was 12 years old. I played in numerous bands going through different styles like Rock, Progressive, Pop & Jazz-Rock. I started this website to share my knowledge and create a resource for drummers of all levels.

Diego Cardini is more than just a drummer; he’s the Drum Ninja. Over time, he’s made a name for himself with his unique drumming style. Whether he’s playing for big crowds or in small studios, Diego’s love for drums shines through. Many young drummers look up to him.

Diego knows a lot about drums. He’s good at playing different styles and teaching others. If you want to learn or improve your drumming, Diego is a go-to expert.

Education

Diego’s unique skills isn’t just natural talent, but also a rich educational background that laid the foundation for his career. Trained under renowned drummers, Diego pursued rigorous programs in percussive arts, enhancing not only his playing techniques but also his understanding of music theory and history.

This academic grounding, combined with hands-on experience, has given Diego an edge, ensuring every beat he plays is as informed as it is instinctive.
