TRAINING
Born in 1985, Ruben Bellavia is a very versatile drummer on the Italian musical scene. In 1993 he founded the rock band Ossi Duri, presently considered one of the best bands to play Frank Zappa’s repertoire with a lot of important collaborations.
After getting his Bachelor Degree in Classical Percussions at the Conservatory in Torino he started studying jazz drumming seriously. Since 2009 he's been working with some of the most influential musicians on the italian and international jazz scene and now he plays with the Fabio Giachino Trio, a band that won some of the most important international jazz contests. With that band he recorded three albums.
