  • WHAT INSPIRES YOU?

    I'm a rock 'n roll fan so drummers like Bonham, Ian Paice, Thomas Prigeon, Travis Barker etc. is super inspiring to me. I'm also a big fan of Mike Portnoy, Thomas Lang, Virgil Donati, but those guys are on a different insane level.

  • WORDS OF WISDOM FOR THE NEXT GENERATION OF DRUMMERS

    It's not about who is the best, but rather how it makes you feel when you sitting behind a kit playing.
