- Drumming means to me:
- It is my most natural way of expression. As an extension of myself, it refreshes me both in physical and spiritual ways, and provides me with a lot of emotions I love to share with my audience, my students, or anyone interested.
- Advice for up and coming drummers:
- Whatever style you're interested in, just listen to drummers you like, try to understand what they play, don't be afraid to copy at first, then all influences you'll have will forge your own personality, take lessons.......

- Well I hope there's still a lot more to come, but seriously I'd like to be able to say I fulfilled my dreams and my goals, passed themon with as much humanism and respect as I can.
