Edie Helion is a young drummer from Marituba, Brazil who was born with a deformed right arm and no right hand.

When Edie was 6 years old, he saw his first drummer, and really liked it. He started learning, but decided to stop due to physical challenges.

He recently started again and is learning drums and rudimentary percussion.

Edie says "My battery is simple, I only have 1 dish (cymbal), but I love what I do. I thank God for what I am".

Edie's favourite drummer is Aaron Spears.

Edie says "I'm learning my battery slowly, and with the help of friends I'll learn my battery more gradually".
