always impressed by his talent and will to pursue his goals
in the tough world of the music business.”


Dave DiCenso

“Tancredi makes waves on the drumset.”


Yoron Israel

“Tancredi’s optimal capacity for learning, a lot of musicality and above all an infinite curiosity
for the new trends in drumming make him an incredibly tenacious musician.”


JP Bouvet

“I especially appreciate the philosophical bent that Tancredi’s teaching clearly has.”

Kenwood Dennard
(Jaco Pastorius, Quincy Jones, Miles Davis)

“Many have complimented my tightness with Jaco, however,
I must give credit to Tancredi and his bassists.”



Federico Fiumani
(Diaframma)

BIO

Tancredi Lo Cigno is a drummer and educator from Florence specialized in Pop/Rock and Fusion drumming. In 2015, after graduating from the G. B. Martini Conservatory of Bologna, he moved to Boston, where in about two and a half years he completed the 'Drums Performance' course at Berklee College of Music with honors. In 2022 he graduated from the advanced program of the L. Cherubini Conservatory of Florence with honors. In recent years he has worked in various musical scenes; in the Pop/Rock/Indie scene with artists such as Diaframma, Ilaria (X-Factor), Wepro (Amici/San Remo Giovani), Emma Nolde, Cecco e Cipo (X-Factor), Renee, Rojabloreck (The Band), Michele Beneforti, Cherry Mellow, Shane Weisman, Matt Christianson, Miranda and others that took him on tour both in Italy and on the East Coast of the United States. He is also present in more Jazz/Fusion groups such as Ron Minis, Meraz, One Month, Aleif Hamdan Group, Rini and the Fluoroscent Collective with whom he has performed in Europe,
the United States, the Middle East and Asia.

In 2014 Tancredi begins his teaching career with his first clinic tour on Rhythmic Illusions called 'Time Trip' which led him to collaborate with masters such as Christian Meyer (Elio e le Storie Tese), Bruno Farinelli (Elisa, Cesare Cremonini, Il Volo) and Yoron Israel (Chair of the Percussion Department of Berklee College of Music). Over the years the Time Trip clinics have evolved also arriving in the UK, at the Musicians Institute in Los Angeles and on many occasions inside the classrooms at Berklee, when the drummer was still a student at 23 years old. In 2020 he publishes the 'Time Trip Book' with the famous New York publishing company Hudson Music, becoming their first Italian author. In 2021 he films 10 series for Vibly.tv, the most important name in the Italian educational online platforms. In 2022 his first video method 'Time Trip - The Movie' is being released, again together with Hudson Music.

In 2018 Tancredi released his first album of original compositions with the trio Yawyl, called 'The Moment After This One'. The project was born at Berklee together with JennHwan Wong (keyboards and synths) and Rafael Minerbo (bass) and it presents a modern-jazz/electronic-rock sound; impactful arrangements, that always leave room for improvisation
and the personality of the three performers.

Tancredi also studied privately with Mark Guiliana, Dave DiCenso, Kenwood Dennard, JP Bouvet, Kim Plainfield, Panagiotis Andreou, Bruno Farinelli, Maurizio dei Lazzaretti and many others.
