I went to the show in Curitiba, june 23, and man: I just can pay attention at the band playing, trying to see you guys behind the poles. You guys rock! I scream my throat out when you appear at the end of the show! Gongrats from Aurélio, Brasil.
most amazing rim click sound i've ever heard..that snare!! cant stop watching these videos. cant believe other cirque drummers don't put this kind of stuff up. These are the only videos you can really see behind the scenes! good stuff. Ill be audition in a year or 2 as well. When the time comes i'd love to send you the clips to have your opinion before i send them away. Hope your'e still enjoying it all! Your Facebook Friend, Mark.
Amazing show, and the music is phenomenal. I saw the show back in 2005 or 2006 when Varekai was at the Meadowlands just outside NY. Keep up the great work, Chris
@pauljbannerman You rule. Fell in love with CDS when I was at elementary school and saw Saltimbango. If there is on thingI want to do in my live musically speaking its a Cirque show. Either drums or percussion. What is the level of side reading? (oh and is there a movie around here where we can see the face of the MD?)

First off your an amazing drummer! Knowing you have been with Varekai since 2002 i must ask, dosent it sometimes get boring playing the same songs 10 times a week for that long? Dont get me wrong i absolutely love the music from Varekai. Im just curious considering how i feel about my job sometimes ;) Nevertheless keep up the good work, hope the see the show some day!
Hey Paul! Great drumming and indeed very cool to see what happens behind the scenes in Cirque de Soleil :) I have a question for you: How free are you as musician, when playing i Cirque? is it very strict with what you have to play in the songs, or do they actually let you figure out what fits the song the best? Do you get to improvise?
I went yesterday on Varekai in Curitiba , I love circus ! It was the best day of my life ! All the musics are amazing ! :)
