Sabian Artist Eric “E-Panda” Hernandez was born in Brooklyn, New York. He is the son of Brooklyn native Pete Hernandez, who was the percussionist for Love & Money and Cecilio & Kapono. Eric started drumming at the tender age of 4 and playing professionally at the age of 10 in Hawaii. He played 6 nights a week for 8 years with “The Lovenote Show” a Variety show paying tribute to the music of the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s. It was this unrelenting schedule that bred consistency in his playing and made him familiar with most styles, be it soul, funk, reggae, rock, pop and anything else the music demands of him.
