Ethan Torchio

20-year-old Ethan who first signed as a Ludwig Italia artist in 2018 at 17 years of age, plays Ludwig’s Vistalite drums. It is hoped the new global artist relationship will extend the opportunity for Ethan to inspire existing young drummers and encourage those who aspire to learn to play drums, worldwide.

After finding one of his mother's old CDs, Ethan then discovered 'The Police' and from that moment Stewart Copeland became his main inspiration. By age 13 Ethan had forged a keen interest in electronic music and started using Nuendo to produce arrangements and tunes to perform and practice with. However, at 15 Ethan realized that it was the time he looked to join a band and after finding a post on Facebook saying, "Looking for roman musicians," he successfully auditioned, the band Måneskin was formed, and the rest is history!
