Welcome to the Trap Set, where each week we explore the lives of drummers.

I want to play something for you. You're hearing You Disappear by La Luce, featuring my guest Marianne Lipino on drums.

The daughter of Chilean parents, Marion grew up in Washington State and was obsessed with drums from an early age.

she co-founded La Luce in Seattle

before moving the band to Los Angeles in 2016.

Leapeno's wildly energetic drumming

helped La Luce's mix of haunting harmonies and frenetic surf rhythms

The band recently recorded their fourth album, which is due later this year.

He really loved Bollywood music.
