Session Drummer

Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?

A: That he/she be ambituous and perfectionist. I like to work with serious people that share the same passion I have for music.

Q: Analog or digital and why?

A: Analog, no question. I know we are living in a digital era and I've worked lots of times that way, but people are used to listening everything way to polished and "on track". I prefer to lose that a bit and gain a little more feeling. For example, that as realistic as programed kit might be, it will never have the same feeling that an acustic kit with a human has. It's very important to feel music as a musician, as well as a listener. We transmit emotions playing, emotions that in my opinion, are really hard or even impossible to get through programed drums.

Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?

A: I garante effort and dedication, as well as the best possible quality.

Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?
