De Coronas - TDE Band - Dreamteam

I've played drums since the age of 3. I grew up listening to the great LA-studio period in the 80's & 90's, and from that great melodic rock/pop period I went on listening to fusion and later on also some prog rock/metal stuff. Sometimes musicians tell me that you can hear pieces of my favorite drummers in my way of playing. A little bit of Jeff Porcaro, a little Dave Weckl, some Virgil Donati & a little Simon Phillips and in the end a bit of myself. For me, that is the biggest compliment you can give me, because I do think "Feel & Skills" are the best combination!! Besides that, Zildjian is my number one favorite brand since I was a kid. Being a full Zildjian Artist is the most thankful award. I hope to see you somewhere on the road, so we can share our love for music and drumming.

  • WHAT INSPIRES YOU?

    I really love "new" artists like Oz Noy, Ole Borud, Valery Stepanov & Marco Sfogli.

  • WORDS OF WISDOM FOR THE NEXT GENERATION OF DRUMMERS

    Trigger yourself to play everything you practice both in straight feel and in swing feel. As a drummer, please be aware what the bass player is doing and vice versa, very important to create a nice backbone for the band to lean on.

  • FAVORITE ZILDJIAN CYMBAL/COMBO

    At the moment i play mostly Zildjian A Customs, and for that reason, the 20" EFX Crash is great to complete the sound family. You can go any direction with these colors. For example when you play a heavy Rock/Metal piece, the A Custom set-up works perfectly in combi with the EFX.
