Biography & Metadata
Eric Alberto-Lopez, professionally known as Ape Drums, is a Mexican-American DJ and producer from Houston, Texas, and a core member of Major Lazer. Starting out as a self-taught teen producer, he built his name through high-energy, Caribbean- influenced dance music before officially joining Major Lazer in 2019. Now based in Miami, Ape Drums has evolved into a leading voice in Afro-tech and Afro-house, blending global rhythms, funk, and electronic elements into a sound uniquely his own. His most recent releases have earned him support from heavyweights including Black Coffee , Steve Angello, Keinemusik, Damian Lazarus and more.
