Vianney ELINEAU

ASBA artist – Deluxe

Vianney Elineau, known as Kilo, is the rhythmic powerhouse of Deluxe and stands today as one of France’s leading creators of hybrid groove, blending acoustic drumming, sampling and explosive stage energy.

Vianney Elineau, also known as Kilo, is the drummer and groove master of Deluxe, the iconic French band blending electro, funk, hip-hop, jazz and pop with unmatched stage energy. As a founding member, he has shaped the rhythmic core of the group from day one, alongside his childhood friends.

Drawn to drums at a very young age, he discovered the instrument at 8 years old when he and his brother inherited an old family kit. That first sonic shock sparked a passion that never left him. On stage and in the studio, Vianney blends acoustic drums, sharp breakbeats, sampling and scratching, giving Deluxe its powerful and instantly recognizable hybrid rhythm signature.

In 2025, Vianney joined the ASBA family, marking a new chapter in his artistic path with a custom handmade drum set crafted in our workshop. His kit, bold and sparkling in appearance, perfectly reflects the visual universe of Deluxe as well as his own musical precision. By choosing local craftsmanship, he affirms a sincere artistic commitment aligned with ASBA’s values.

Today, Vianney continues to drive Deluxe’s groove with contagious energy, overflowing creativity and a stage presence that never goes unnoticed. At ASBA, we are proud to support an artist who blends technique, sensitivity and a truly distinctive sound identity.

“Playing on an ASBA kit gives me exactly what I look for in drums: a living sound, real character and the touch of passionate craftsmanship. My kit has become a true part of my identity on stage.”
