Drummer with the band littleSUNDAY

About Me


BIO:
Since the tender age of 6 when his first drum set was manufactured by Tupperware and Lagostina, this Naples, Italy native has been developing his “skills with the sticks”.
Over the past years, Eric has acquired the playing expertise required to provide a rock solid foundation to all the musical projects to which he participates.
Self-taught, Eric can be credited for his session work in the studio on commercial jingles. He has also worked with various upcoming and established Canadian artists and has been a part of several original and cover projects.
Eric credits the power and finesse of John Bonham as the inspiration and foundation to his playing style. Some of Eric’s other drumming influences are: Ian Paice, Neil Peart, Jeff Porcaro and Steve Gadd.
Eric is currently the drummer with the band littleSUNDAY
