Kachiro Thompson Biography

'From Santurce, Puerto Rico, the late William 'Kachiro' Thompson was one of the most in demand conga players around. As a prolific recording and touring artist, Kachiro needed drums that would deliver in a wide variety of musical situations. Inside or outside, in an intimate venue or a big stadium, in the studio or while on tour, Kachiro needed instruments that felt good when he played them and that transmitted the nuances and intensity of his playing. With more than 500 recordings during his career, Kachiro's sound and playing style has become a staple in modern day salsa music produced in the salsa capitals of the world like San Juan (Puerto Rico), Miami, and New York.
