Shot Shaker” with LP Percussion continues to be called
“brilliant” by musicians and critics nationwide. Daniel’s
revolutionary new LP One Shot shaker’s unique design enables
both novice and professional musicians to execute simple or even
the most complex rhythms for an entire musical track with
improved precision and ease.
Recent recordings include Peter
Frampton’s 2006 Grammy award-winning recording “Fingerprints”
where Daniel was presented with an award for his participation
on the album by the National Academy of Recording Arts and
Science. He also recently recorded with Sheldon Reynold's
"Devoted Spirits: A Tribute to Earth, Wind & Fire", John (JR)

Collection” featuring the 2000 Grammy performance of “Living la
Vida Loca.”
Born in New York City and raised
in Puerto Rico and Las Vegas, Daniel is of Cuban and Puerto
Rican descent and a third generation musician in the de los
Reyes family. He received his early drum instruction from his
father, Walfredo de los Reyes Sr., one of Cuba’s most prominent
and influential drummers. His grandfather, Walfredo de los Reyes
II, was one of the founding members of the successful Cuban
orchestra Casino de la Playa.
Daniel continues to broaden his
musical talents to include recording and producing new projects.
Stepping into the spotlight as bandleader and producer, Daniel
celebrates his Cuban roots while playing the driving rhythms,
upbeat tempos, and danceable mambos, rumbas, and cha-cha-chas of
his heritage. His critically-acclaimed SAN RAFAEL 560 album
earned him high praise and recognition from fans and music
critics alike. Cuban music legends Armando Peraza, Candido
Camera, the Los Papines family, and Buena Vista Social Club’s
Amadito Valdez have all praised SAN RAFAEL 560 for its
authenticity.
Jareb Cobb of DRUM! Magazine sums
it best: "As a highly acclaimed percussionist, performer,
producer, clinician, and inventor, Daniel de los Reyes is a rare
example of someone who possesses the right combination of
intelligence, experience, connections, and guts that separates
himself from the masses. His pedigreed upbringing allows him to
dream big, his years of paying dues on the road allow him to
filter these ideas with a business-minded sieve, and his passion
for life and music -- they are one in the same for him -- allows
him to pursue worthy ideas with the level of energy and
enthusiasm that they demand. He's a visionary with the drive to
execute. But above all, he is and always has been one single
thing: a drummer.”
