Highlight of your career so far:
Joining the Meinl team is without any doubt a highlight, but at every concert or recording session I feel more in the right path. If I had to choose one highlight, was my first interview on Modern Drummer magazine in 2007.
Drumming strengths:
I try hard to be a better musician, as complete and creative as I can.
Drumming means to me:
Making music is a privilege to few. I feel honored in being able to do this with all my heart. I'm the happiest person alive when I'm playing my drums, because that's what I wanna do with my life. It feels like a dream coming true, every time!
Advice for up and coming drummers:
Perseverance and study! Go an chase your dreams! Don't let anyone ever make you give up! Try to have fun while playing, always!
How would you describe yourself:
I'm a nice guy, always in a good mood. I'm the happiest person on earth when behind a drum kit, be it live or in studio.
When I look back on my life one day, I would like to be able to say:
I could analyse and say I made the right choice! Playing the drums was my choice and the reason I was born for! Music runs in my veins and that couldn't be different.
