  • WHAT INSPIRES YOU?

    First time on stage with Christopher Cross was a big challenge to me... He played and worked with all of my heroes Porcaro, Gadd, Carlock....!!!

  • WORDS OF WISDOM FOR THE NEXT GENERATION OF DRUMMERS

    Creativity is fed by listening music, others musicians and not especially drummers of course, by Life in general ( friends, love, reading, cinema) and of course my kids are a big source of inspiration

  • FAVORITE ZILDJIAN CYMBAL/COMBO

    American classic 5b are definitely my first choice and will stay for ever. Quality, durability and they are so well balanced to me ....
