If you want to do things right, do it yourself!!!

About Me

Right now, after 33 years of loving, living and breathing in this world, I have developed a singular taste for all kinds of music (rock, reggue, jazz, opera, metal, salsa, everthing BUT vallenato), which lead me to one of the many pleasures I enjoy the most - Playing drums.

My life is very simple, work, play and spend all the time possible with my son Gabriel (who I belive is the reencarnation of Jim Morrison, jaja).


Am a Graphic Designer, who turned into the dark side and became a webdeveloper quite a few years ago... just for fun and now am Senior Webmaster at work - not bad eh!?

I consider myself lucky - living in tropical paradise, hurracaine free zone (so far), have a family of my own, good friends, a only country with 2 oceans 45mins from each other and the most important things WITH BEERS UNDER $35cents - PANAMA!

My current Setup,
Pearl, the best reason to play drums
(oh, Yes, Ziljian, Paiste Alpha and Orion Cymbals)

My Interests

Interesting form... jmm... well... many things, music, friends, books and most important everything related to playing drums, which is my favorite hobbie.

I'd like to meet:
