  • WORDS OF WISDOM FOR THE NEXT GENERATION OF DRUMMERS

    Listen to a maximum of music, in all styles and play as much as you can to go beyond technique and play really musical and creative.

  • FAVORITE ZILDJIAN CYMBAL/COMBO

    I'm crazy about the sound of K zildjian, they have everything in them, the dark side, the warm side, the softness of the velvet as well as the aggressivity of the metal, their creative possibilities in terms of frequencies are fabulous. They are magic
