He's regarded as a drummer
of unmistakable style,
extremely personal, and he
deals with genres very
different from each other:
rock, funk, fusion, jazz,
progressive rock, R&B, pop,
etc. with special care for
the GROOVE, the
sound, the language
diversity of the
above-mentioned genres, the
expressiveness, the
arrangement and the rhythmic
orchestration (especially in
studio) and for a sort of
rhythmic/harmonic/dynamic
approach based on the
interplay (especially live).
In 2011 he collaborates with
the grammy award winner
EUMIR DEODATO, famous
arranger and producer for
BJORK, KOOL AND THE GANG,
WES MONTGOMERY, FRANK
