Indipendent

Gabriele "Lele" Boria began his musical journey taking lessons throughout the years from Gil Cuppini (at age 9) and Enrico Lucchini, truly two of the Masters in Italy. Very active in both commercial and fusion music he played with: Malika Ayane, Linda Wesley, Damaris, Olga Davis, Steve Washington, Lee Konitz, Antonio Faraa² and many others. He has an intense teaching schedule in the northern part of Italy as well as drum clinics and masterclasses.

"Playing a Zildjian cymbal is like reading your favourite novel over and over again; each time with new eyes, each time in search for that magical inspiration for life".

  • WHAT INSPIRES YOU?

    Everything that existed before me: I'm inspired by genius, art and all the great masters of every discipline. Respect and knowledge of the past are the essential part of any musical identity.

  • WORDS OF WISDOM FOR THE NEXT GENERATION OF DRUMMERS

    Be curious: listen to more genres of music to increase your vocabulary as all the greats have done.

  • FAVORITE ZILDJIAN CYMBAL/COMBO

    I get inspired by the music I have to play: dark, light sounds... it depends on the emotions of the moment. In my cymbal bag there are always many cymbals that I use also depending on the acoustics of the place where I'll play. A cymbal that I particularly love is the 20" k constantinople renaissance ride.
