I..am Francisco Lima, I became a drummer since I was 5 years old,when I was a boy this became a passion to me and took part of my all life.
At the age of 15 I get my first drum kit.The drum is the way I found to expresse my self to the world... so I start having lessons when I was 15, with the greatest professor and very close friend - Cardoso Henrique (Agostinho), he taught me the various styles (jazz, rock, latin, samba...)I study very hard and some years later I was prepare to play... I have some bands on highschool, and this teach me how to play with the other musicians... and listen to other instrument....
When I was 18 i try to listen my heroes play with very attention and try to do the same stuff, this complied me to studdy hard my technique and independence.I try to go to the most workshops I can, to view different approachs and study new things, I assisted workshops from Dom Famularo, Billy Cobham, Michael Lauren, Rodney Holmes...
I haved lessons in valentim de carvalho school with greatest professors, such as José Manuel Pinheiro (redding, notes, rhythm), and played on Casa da Música with the latin band "triagem"In the present I play with Cupido; Stray; Dj Slimcutz; Alquimia and combo of jazz (valentim de carvalho), Zebra and some work studio and have lessons with Hugo Danin.
