The most necessary and the hardest and most important thing in
music is the tempo.
(Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart)
The music is not in the notes, but in the silence in between.
(Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart)

Style(s)
I listen and play many different types of music with passion, for example Rock, Hardrock, Folk,Folk-Rock, Jazz, Fusion, classical music, Greek music, World Music, and good popular music.
My favourite drummers are Jim Gordon, Jim Keltner, and Vinnie Colaiuta. That might be a reason why I love ad-hoc substitude engagements. Aren't aforementioned three gentlemen also a kind of backup drummers? ;-)
