About Me

I am retiring my personal myspace music page featuring: X-Men the musical, Spaceships for Jesus the Space Opera & Music and Murder "part one", in order to totally dedicate this internet space to the art of drumming and the wonderful products by the UFiP Cymbal Company in Italy.

(I’ll still keep some of my tunes up for your listening pleasure)



UFiP- Unione Fabbricanti Italiani Piatti
(Italian: Union of Italian Cymbal Makers) may very well be the best kept secret in the drumming world... the process in which they are created is very unique, they named it rotocasting. Check out their web site if you want to fully understand the process... they are hammered, shaped and then lathed until they sound at their fullest peak (tuned by ear) following no ones rules but their own.
Just like many Italian products such as clothing and cars, these Italian cymbalsmiths have a certain highly skilled knack for manufacturing a high quality product. UFiP cymbals are of premium quality. UFiP instruments sound extremely robust and have an appearance all their own.
Unlike the mass produced giants of the industry, UFiP cymbals are a limited production product. They endorse no major artists yet these cymbals are owned by professional and major drummers all over the world. UFIP cymbals offer a very unique and complex tone to the drummers arsenal and drummers in the know seek them out for just that.
UFIP is proud to be a small exclusive company producing only the finest cymbals, placing the importance on quality not quantity.
