Carlos Merced - Drums/Background Vocals

   Carlos began playing drums in seventh grade, when he had the opportunity to enroll in the School of the Performing Arts of Puerto Rico.  That's where he began his training as a musician under the instruction of Samuel Liftchitz.  He's had the opportunity to play in many different musical scenarios including Classical Music (yeah, I said classical), Latin Jazz, as well as... you guessed it! ROCK.  He has performed with recording artists Zelma, Chuck Sullivan and is the drummer for the Army of Praise Orchestra.

"I believe that God's will for our lives is to worship Him.  Not for what He has done; but because of Who He is.  He is our Creator, Savior and King... worthy of all the Glory." - Carlos
