Bio
I was born in Italy in the 60's, and I was brought up listening to rock music and most all other genres.
I got into drums at very young age.
I began playing along with records of Beatles, Pink Floyd, Genesis, King Crimson, Led Zeppelin, and I had a love affair with my drums that is still going on today.
I've been very fortunate in that, I've performed with many great musicians, since my first drumshots, in gigs, tour and sessions and during this period of time I've played almost all brands of drums and cymbals on the market (and many, many models of them...).
I have been a drummer since I can remember...
But I play piano and keys, too.
I started my musical adventure playing drums, touring and recording with many artists.
In early 80's I joined the pluri-awarded italian band "Vernice" and I still remain with them until now; meantime I play drums with great artists and bands from all the World, like
Dejan Javorina, Vandess, Dale Crowley, Nick Gent and Inner Journey.
Since the early 90's I've also worked as a producer, sound engineer and sound designer.
Now, I'm an online drummer, for all musicians that needs professional drumtracks with state-of-the-art sound.
I use the same drums and cymbals for many years, and I have some of the best electronic gear on the market.
I have decided not to receive an endorsement from any particular brand, so that I am free to pick and choose from all brands to get the best sound for the given musical situation.
Oh, yes, I also make some of my drums by myself...
Favorite Lyric
From Genesis "Duke" album, "Misunderstanding"... "There must be some misunderstanding There must be some kind of mistake I waited in the rain for hours And you were late"... I know that. And, from Willie Dixon: "You can't judge an apple by looking at the tree, You can't judge honey by looking at the bee, You can't judge a daughter by looking at the mother, You can't judge a book by looking at the cover."
