  • WHAT INSPIRES YOU?

    Around 10 years ago, I took 2 important decisions: to stop listen to drummers and try to leave my ego outside the stage. That really unlocked my creativity and free my playing.

  • WORDS OF WISDOM FOR THE NEXT GENERATION OF DRUMMERS

    I mostly look for inspiration in the Arquitechture of Zaha Hadid and the music of Astor Piazzolla.

  • FAVORITE ZILDJIAN CYMBAL/COMBO

    Anywhere, anytime, having the right tool is crucial to me. I trust them to translate my emotions so they have to be one with my hands. I believe in Vic.
