Walfredo de los Reyes Sr. (June 16, 1933 – August 28, 2025) was a Cuban drummer, timbalero, percussionist, and educator, in the fields of session recording, live performance, and clinics. Inspired by Candido Camero he was instrumental in advancing the use of multiple percussion (congas, timbales, bongó) all played simultaneously by just one player. He was the father of famed percussionists Walfredo Reyes Jr. and Daniel de los Reyes and of actor Kamar de los Reyes. He is often cited as one of the most influential modern timbaleros together with Tito Puente and Willie Bobo.
