Rock drummer can groove too !

About Me

I'm a musician from the heart , I've started to learn drums at the age of 13. Till this time i've never stoped to look for my goal.I've started to learn by my own, then i spent 6 years in Agostini school (Paris) Slowly after years of passion I'm touching it. In contract with Yamaha and Paiste, playing everywhere after more than a thousand gigs, recording in studio, and working with various artist like, Cox, Gerald De Palmas, Melatonine, Les Voodoo, Sorel, Laam, Louis, Mokaiesh, David Parianti....
I've just finished a one year tour with De Palmas for his last album " un homme sans racine" , 2 drums with Amory Blanchard. I'm actually working with Mokaiesh and Thierry Amiel. I'm always looking for new adventures in the most differents styles. Soon i hope to find something really groovy,funky,r'n b to make the hips chaking...

Sounds Like: People say that i'v got a large sound and a groovy style, rock and english pop drumming but really modern, technical probably.Very precise, that's the way i am. I feel confortable in all rock pattern but i like to play all the new Rn'B rythme, as a drum machine. I won't let my seat to a drum machine, i can do the same with a better sound and groove :) I'm working on all the Hip Hop beat, funky stuff and salsa rythme cause it's the direction i'd like to take now. Always looking to give my best, i'll anjoy to share my beat culture with great mucicians.
