"Franck Vaillant: Artist-musician

Self-taught drummer, Franck Vaillant is first and foremost, a musician who loves adventure in the broad sense.

Also a composer and sound designer, he composed and produced 7 albums under his name which remain unclassifiable.

He is an original and creative musician who adds his personal touch to all his collaborations. He knows how to use the different "colors" that a drum set can offer, because in addition to making us stomp while listening to it, he colors the music like a percussionist.

He likes to combine everything that is impactable, from traditional batteries to personalized, tampered with, electrified batteries.

Franck has participated in more than 70 albums and performed around the world with a multitude of musicians of all stripes."
