About Me

I have lot of interests but never enough time to dedicate them really... MUSIC is part of my life, I’m a drummer from more than 20 years now and, when I can, I love to play or practice on my drumset, I played with some bands here in Roma (Country, Blues, Rock, Pop...) and I’d like to thank ALL of my musician friends that I have the proud to work with now and in the past....My newest "love" is the Cajon, I discovered this fantastic instrument about 2 years ago discovering Flamenco (Thank you Patri to show me your world)... and I’m actually play in some Flamenco classes and stages with Patricia Rodrigues, Giorgia Celli, Dario Carbonelli and Lara Ribichini. Photography is another interest that I want to enprove, I’ll try to share with you some of my pics on this page one day...About...MY SET: I’m the lucky owner of a great Premier Signa 8 pieces Drums, (I just love her sound...) 8"-10"-12"-13" toms and 15" and 16" floor toms, 22" bass-drum.
