CACHEMIRE

I started playing drums at the age of 8 because my brother played it. I was rocked by The Police, Supertramp and Led Zeppelin but also Metallica and Pantera. I was in school battery and then at the conservatory because I had a deep desire to know and master my instrument.

In high school I turned to the Progressive metal and in particular Dream Theater. Mike Portnoy has been an important part of my evolution. Music had become so important in my life that this became my job until today. By chance I met the right people. I have been in several bands and practice demonstrations of batteries for Pearl and many other brands.

Today I have the chance to play for Zildjian and Ludwig and practice drums every day and go with my band Cachemire on tour.

  • WHAT INSPIRES YOU?

    drummers such as Stewart Copeland, Mike Portnoy and many others have contributed to my style of play that I practice today. being Kid I always turned to musical styles rather Metal. Today, I have a wider horizon ranging from Sting to Gojira via Royal Republic which really helps me to progress and to be always in constant evolution. What inspires me is Music in its entirety!
