  • WHAT INSPIRES YOU?

    A magical moment that happened to me was watching a drum solo of mine on vic Firth's page, I knew that at that moment I was in the whole world.

  • WORDS OF WISDOM FOR THE NEXT GENERATION OF DRUMMERS

    I'm a research musician and always looking for new things. But I never fail to follow drummers who have changed my sound like: Elvin Jones, Jack Dejonnette, Zé Nazario and Nene. And I'm inspired by: Matt Wilson, Daniel Humair and Joey Baron

  • FAVORITE ZILDJIAN CYMBAL/COMBO

    A drumstick that changed my playing style was the SD2 Bolero, its lightness and the definition of sound actually builds my sonority in the instrument.
