What Drives Your Creativity?

Since my early years as a drummer, I have always accompanied various national and international artists. I have participated in many musicals, all of which were very famous. Therefore, I have poured all my creativity into these activities.
Why Do You Choose Vic Firth?

Many years before getting the endorser, I was already using Vic Firth sticks of various models, after becoming an endorser of the brand, and due to the type of music I was making at that time, I chose the 8D and the 7A. Although I play other styles, I also use the AJ6, SD2 bolero, and the 5A for jazz, symphonic and pop.
