Without a doubt has to be Fabian Vasquez. He has been playing for almost a third of his life and has learned from the best, the conjunto game from his dad and the drum game from his brother. He will only get better with age and will redefine the conjunto drummer for many years to come.

There are plenty of drummers in the Valley Make A Research C-C ,Robstown,Alice Then Judge Ineptos.
Danny Martinez is a great solid drummer. He is a seasoned drummer with years of experience. In my opinion, he does not get enough recognition. Keep up the good work Danny.
The legend (Robert Riojas Remains #1) letting all the rookies know whats up, From where it came from to who started it,One Person he looked up to was none other than (George Martinez#1)These two drummers will teach you how to respect the Onda Of Conjunto not only by the talent that they were blessed with but, also by their character. The heart is the key to Great Timing as well as having great Key musicians to have your back on stage.I encourage any drummer who wants to learn conjunto to do some homework and go out and by some material containing these two drummers as well as any bassist,accordion,bajo sexto and vocalist, its all about learning,appreciation,respect and love for this beautiful culture that has been passed on down to us. So do your thing and keep it real,don't be fake,and shake them haters off. Respect the music and love it.
In an era with so much talent at this position i have to go with one from a true royal conjunto background and pick Mr. Ricky De La Rosa Jr. he is simply the best in the game right now.
I have to go with Robert Riojas. After watching him with Mingo and the history he had with Tony and Angel you have to go with the virtuoso. Look at his sons..Mike from the former T5 and Robert jr. the drummer of his jefe's band.
