Alberto Atalah, a Chilean drummer,
began playing drums when he was 14. 

After five years of private lessons on drum kit and snare drum, he began studying classical percussion at the PUC in Chile, where he learned to play xylophone, marimba, percussion sets and classical snare drum, as well as other instruments.

While studying, he stood out for his snare drum skills in particular. Alberto has also taken private lessons from a number of drum teachers over the years.

Alberto’s strengths are rock music, double bass drumming, rudiments, polyrhythms and odd meters.

From 2008 to 2016, Alberto's main musical project was The Outside, a Chilean/German metal band based in Berlin. After two albums and countless shows in Europe and South America the band decided to stop performing, giving all the band members the chance to continue with other musical paths.

	In recent years Alberto recorded and toured with a variety of rock, metal, pop, progressive and latin bands all over Europe (Germany, UK, Austria, Switzerland, Netherlands, Poland, Italy, Belgium, Sweden, Norway, Czech Republic, and others), in Russia and at very well-known festivals like Summer Breeze, M'era Luna, Metalfest, Wave-Gotik-Treffen, and others, performing in front of thousands of people.

In 2014, Alberto was invited to participate as a member of the jury in the national part of the German contest "Jugend Musiziert", the most important musical contest for young musicians in Germany.

He’s been living in Berlin since 2005. At the moment he's teaching full time at thePlanetDrum Berlin, an international drum school with over 170 students in Berlin, and touring a lot with different bands as an independent drummer.

Alberto has endorsements with Pearl Drums, Istanbul Mehmet Cymbals and Ahead Armor Cases

Bio:
I've been learning guitar since 2009 via tabulators and took a 9-hours course with a great guitar player Krisztián Timár in 2013. I learnt some basics of music from him, then in 2014 I wanted to make a very simple music kind of like you can hear in simple RPG-games with pixeled warriors and slimes and dungeons and stuff. This simple song became a bit complicated and after I finished, the title 'Symphonica' was given (04.10.2014). Since then I've put together some longer-shorter pieces mainly composed for symphonic orchestral instruments and a goal of my life has emerged in my brain: to be able to sit in a front row of an orchestral concert where the musicians play almost 2 hours of my own songs.

My influences are totally metal-related musicians who were influenced by classical composers so I could say there are 2 different kind of influences for me.
Direct influences are:
-Jari Mäenpää
-Luca Turilli
-Yngwie Johann Malmsteen
-Jeff Loomis
-Jason Becker
-Marty Friedman
-Karl Sanders
-and there must be some other guys out there whom I can't think about now - or don't even know them!

Indirect influences are:
-Johann Sebastian Bach
-Arcangelo Corelli
-Antonio Vivaldi
-Ludwig van Beethoven
-Béla Bartók
-Ferenc Liszt

Also there's something I hope for: everyone who listens to something I composed I hope for them to enjoy what they hear, find rejoice and their own positive energy and impetus.
