  • WHAT INSPIRES YOU?

    When I started playing drums (in the 90's), I was inspired by the legends, like Bonham, Buddy Rich, etc... But right now I am inspired by the enormous amount of great drummers you can find on internet. It's like everybody is amazing nowadays! I'm also inspired by the people who enjoy my work.

  • WORDS OF WISDOM FOR THE NEXT GENERATION OF DRUMMERS

    Practice as much as you can. Specially if you are very young and have all the time in the world. Honestly, nowadays the bar is set so high, and there is so much information on the Internet, that there is no excuse to not be amazing in whatever instrument you choose to play.

  • FAVORITE ZILDJIAN CYMBAL/COMBO

    I love my mix of A Customs and K Customs
