  • WHAT INSPIRES YOU?

    In 1978 Sergio Mendes held world wide auditions to replace the great Paulinho De Costa. All the players were at a high level but Sergio told me that it was my attitude which put me over the top and won the audition.

  • WORDS OF WISDOM FOR THE NEXT GENERATION OF DRUMMERS

    I listen and play almost everything, from folkloric drumming music to classical, rap to metal, pop to jazz. Not so much country & western, but that's because of their politics.

  • FAVORITE ZILDJIAN CYMBAL/COMBO

    Vic Firth has the variety that I need, and they are simply the best
