  • WHAT INSPIRES YOU?

    It was after weeks of struggle, shedding and hard work, that one morning, I sit behind the drums and all of a sudden my chops started to roll like never before. So I just spent hours behind the drums that day, enjoying that newly unlocked level of playing.

  • WORDS OF WISDOM FOR THE NEXT GENERATION OF DRUMMERS

    Funk and Jazz music from the 70s and 80s RnB is a big influence to me, cause of its grooves and compositions that were never reached ever since.

  • FAVORITE ZILDJIAN CYMBAL/COMBO

    Through the course of my drumming life, colleagues and friends suggested other stick brands to me, than the "usual" Vic Firth products. But I never was satisfied with their feel, durability, or sound. In all those factors Vic Firth always came out as the winner.
