Nestor Praniuk is an Argentinian drummer who moved to California in 1996, before coming to Cleveland. Nestor was in a family of musicians: "

My grandfather plays the violin. My mom is a piano player and all of my uncles play some sort of instrument. At the age of 12, I started playing the drums in my church. At that time my father had a recording studio in our home. I’d often sneak in after hours and play on the sets that different musicians would leave behind."



Later Nestor Praniuk took lessons and was able to create a worship experience with the drums, even creating and tuning his own.



In October 2009, Nestor Praniuk founded AJP Custom Drums. AJP stands for All Jesus’ People. Most of his customers dedicate a lot of their time playing in churches and inspirational bands, according to Praniuk. They include Terry Baker from Kirk Franklin’s band, Martin Alcedo of No Bragging Rights, independent drummers Jacob Vera and Paul Martinez and several others.
