William was very good! He brought extra drums for guests to play and taught everyone as he played expertly. His warm friendly personality united everyone.
Response from William Ruiz:
Thanks very much . I really enjoyed being part of your event .
William did a great job at our event. He was very communicative and he was easy going and flexible. We had a drum circle with all different ages and everyone was engaged.
William shared his music and talent with our school through a drum circle on Indigenous Peoples’ Day. It was a very enriching experience. He was prompt, arrived with so many instruments, was so chill and open with the children and their parents.

The audience or client will experience a positive tonal rhythmic rainforest drumming voyage with counter rhythms and cacho seed shaker sounds mixed with sleigh bells and ghungroo bells. I have a tribal drumset up which includes hi hats ride cymbal crash cymbol; 12 tongue logdrum and a floor tom. Most people describe my music as rhythmic, meditational and trancelike. Grooving and naturally flowing spiritual sounding and very positive energy. I put alot of love into the music. Its definitely a unique native / indigenous world music experience. Keep in mind am a percussionist that can adapt to any musical circumstances so although my main instrument is tribal i caan pperform all kinds of music and have many groups that perform all different styles.
