My name is Daniel Fresco and I play the drums.

Music is my life’s purpose and I am grateful to share this with the world. From in-studio recording to big festival stages worldwide, I bring positive energy that elevates the music and artists that I play with!

Sold out show at Mercury Lounge, NYC

7/16/2022 Live with Dhruv at a Sold Out Mercury Lounge, NYC

I am a professional drummer and percussionist with 25+ years of live-performance, touring and recording experience based in NYC, born and raised in The Bronx.

I love playing the drums =D

Learn to Drum with Fresco

I believe that learning to play the drums is an absolute joy. This experience is what I hope to share through my love of teaching. I adapt my approach to each student’s unique needs, allowing us to create a fun atmosphere where we can explore rhythmic possibility!

"Uh...Excuse me Sir, you seemed to have misplaced the beat...oh wait there it Is, nvm..."🤣 • I'm feeling a completely new level of excitement for Rhythmic variation and expression on the drums. The 1, 2, 3, 4🔂 is becoming more about the space than definitive points in musical time. Playing within, around and through the pulse is now about the deeper conversation between all of the instruments.🥁 • Tonight if you happen to want to jam, sing or share some original songs we will be doing another open mic tonight at @abracadabramagicdiner 7-9pm, shall be a fun 🤩 time! @62mamaritz and Pops will be there celebrating @davidlovesjapan birthday eve! • •• ••• •• • #jam #groove #beat #flow #move #grow #time #pulse #drummer #energy #explore #play #feel #sound #vibration #space

Sometimes before the great expansion is a major implosion, a visceral tearing away from all the old versions and aspects of who we used to be to make space for who we always were within; Offering all the previous patterns, as they dissolve back into
Sometimes before the great expansion is a major implosion, a visceral tearing away from all the old versions and aspects of who we used to be to make space for who we always were within; Offering all the previous patterns, as they dissolve back into the so(u)il, ones that revealed some potent lessons to prepare us for what is to come. I am now finding myself in this new/old place of peace and gratitude after what feels like a massive portal opening, an energy shift into wide open territory where anything is possible.

Rough around the edges, soft in the middle.🥐 Little by little. Day by day, trusting the process to reveal the subtleties.🔬 Practice always makes present-er... Improvisation-ing is the teacher and the student, re-cognizing how to be more patient, leaving that space for the call and responsive-ness...Since deepening is growing, opening the space to let the ear hear, here.🐚👂🏽 • *Not shown...111bpm • •• ••• •• • #Poetry #Practice #Flow #Energy #Vortex #Drone #Learn #Meditation #Vibe #Growth #Drums #Sonic #Frequency #Outerspace
