  • WHAT INSPIRES YOU?

    What keeps me going everyday is looking up to the greats like Dave Weckl, Vinnie Colaiuta and Dennis Chambers that were the ones that inspired me to plat the drums.

  • WORDS OF WISDOM FOR THE NEXT GENERATION OF DRUMMERS

    I would like to emphasize to the upcoming musicians that we should always be musical and play for the music instead of trying to prove how fast you can be.

  • FAVORITE ZILDJIAN CYMBAL/COMBO

    My favourite cymbal must be the 20´ Kerope.
