Luis Cardenas on Guiness Hall of Fame

Luis Cardenas, the drummer for the rock band Renegade graced the cover of many magazines, such as Modern Drummer and Performance Magazine. Developing a name for himself as both a solo artist and a highly accomplished musician, Cardenas was invited by the British Broadcasting Company (BBC) to appear on the Guiness Hall of Fame Awards, where he played Prokofiev's Troika with the London Philharmonic Orchestra. The BBC produced a very unique presentation in which each of Cardenas' drums appear and disappear as he plays them. This David Frost hosted program allowed Cardenas to demonstrate the way in which he played his drums as a completely tuned instrument, rather than just for their percussion value. It seems that every single drum in Cardenas' massive set are finely tuned, providing an added voice and perspective to his musical prowess. In order to capture each sound correctly, Kim Richards produced and engineered the recording at the BBC's main recording facility in London. Cardenas enjoyed the classical performance and departure from his usual rock genre, and looked upon the task as a welcomed challenge. This is a can't miss performance for the Luis Cardenas fan!

[alliedartists]

Editor: Zach is indeed Luis's son and an up and coming drummer himself, as is his older brother Nick. The legacy definitely continues!

[rocker4alltime]

a rock drummer with the london philharmonic rocking out a famous classical piece. we need to hear more from luis these days. the drummers out today just don't have this kind of talent. someone on the tube said they're his son. if its true, i wonder if he is a drummer.

[alliedartists]

Luis has two sons, Nick and Zack. Both are excellent drummers. The eldest, Nick is in a band that is about to be under development. Stay tuned for further as the legacy continues.

Does this record still stand. If so, I'm gonna buy me a 78 peice kit tomorrow. J/K

Luis actually never set out to break any records, but the Guiness Book determined on their own that his kit was in fact the world's largest at the time. The whole thing was fun, but Luis wanted to place the emphasis on his skills as a drummer, rather than how many drums he could assemble. He therefore intentionally reduced the size of his kit, so he would no longer hold any record. Although he does still own numerous versions of the record breaking kit.
