Philadelphia-based drummer, Ricardo Lagomasino, has been playing music since the age of ten. He holds a Bachelor of Music in Jazz Performance from the Oberlin Conservatory of Music, where he studied with Billy Hart, Jamey Haddad, and Michael Rosen.

He is currently working with Capillary Action, Joe Lally of Fugazi, and Altamira.
Press Quotes:
"[Ricardo Lagomasino's] percussion was a flurry of touches that reminds me of Denardo Coleman with the impact of late 80's speed metal." -Mike Long, Black Lodge Productions
"[Capillary Action's] alternating between mellow jazz to near-hardcore rock was a compelling mix, particularly as the drummer guided them through, demonstrating his exceptional jazz skills and often letting out his inner Dave Lombardo with speed-metal-worthy thunder." -Matthew Stabley, The DC Scene
you're doing some PROPER touring my friend! hey i was giving myself a luxurious Japanese bath yesterday, and thought of you and how much you would enjoy it, and then enjoyed the thought of thinking of you in the bathtub. miss ya guy!
Somehow, the power and poetry of your name works well with the power and poetry of your music! Great stuff, Ricardo. That picture of you looks like it was taken in Amsterdam...yes?
So I'm probably going to give the cd for you to Zack when I see him this weekend. We are also moving the cd release party back at least to january like you suggested. ; )
