Some time ago my friend Jonny Cooke asked me to play drums on a beautiful acoustic song he wrote...well, I never could imagine all this beauty, the magic guitar of Tom Adams, the evocative strings by Maira Huisman, the awesome work of Van Gabriel on mixing, mastering and production, and obviously the talent of Jonny....I'm so proud and honored to be part of this, me...an amateur drummer with such a cast of amazing musicians...thank you, my friends !!!

The Ancient Forest

Hi guys! I'm back...after a lot of time to build, organize a new little studio, then to build a new custom drumkit and search the right sound...this is a wild live performance on a drumless piece I didn't know about, but my good friend Lee Lucas noticed me it's a Billy Cobham song...sad news indeed...Lol!!!
By the way i decided to post this mastered (to my ears) version of my old one, so you can more listen to the mess I did, ah ah ah!!!
Hope you like my wild drumming and,  Master Billy...I hope you can forgive me...
I am sadly watching some of dear friends abandone SC, with good rights, new SC is horrible, but it is the only way to listen and contact incredible friends I met in these years...

Kinky Dee (Billy Cobham Crazy Drum Cover) - Mastered version

Hi to everyone! Here is my "interpretation" of Mike Spring's open collab...Mike was so kind to give me a chance to play on his beautiful composition "Many Years", this music is so adequate to my feelings in these years that I felt the imperative to play my wild drums on that...In agreement with him this is an open collab, so I hope someone of you could add other feelings to his gem...Hope you enjoy! Happy new year of music and love to all of you! 
P.S. If you want to remix, I can send the tracks separately...

Many Years - Mike Spring Open collab

This one was posted by Milana as open collab, then Roger made its own interpretation. This was a blast to me, I did it as usual, live!
It was a joy and a lot of fun have the chance to play again with these two amazing musicians and dear friends!
Hope you like !

Purple Chords- Mixdown 01

Hi to everybody! I'm an old beginner drummer...I started playin' drums when I was young, but after only one year sold my Hollywood drum kit , for medicine studies and hospital working, marriage and sons....
recently I bought an acoustic Pearl kit, but the noise was too high, and then an Alesis drum kit, and the passion exploded in me again!
I am an absolute beginner , but I love so much the rhythm and drums..... I played for years on sofa cushion, following my preferred music, Genesis, Jethro Tull, EL&P, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple and many others...like a fool idiot!
Now I can play with my E Drum on drumless tracks, I joke with this, not being a really skilled musician, I'm studying drums anyway...
Sorry for my english....it is not my language...and I hadn't study enough....SC gives me the possibility of listen and share music with you, really good musicians, and friends!
Be patient with my beat errors...:-))))
I should be happy  to collab with others on SC ....if you need a (bad) drummer, I'm here!
Good Music to you all...
In few months I met on Sc so many friends, who gave me the chance to play on original and beautiful songs, I'll forever grateful to them for that, especially to Xycon, a great musician and man!
I have the pleasure and the luck to collab with some of these:
Xycon
Ray McGinnis
Torn
Tony Pappas
Anders Birr
Lee Lucas
PappaLeone
Jonny Cooke
Ed Haydon
Nick Nolan
MarkJ Bennett
Gianni Fuga
Vlad Josephson
Allan Lyon
Yann Vienne
and many others...
I want to thank all of these wonderful musicians for let me play on their music!
Music is life, and drums are the heart of music....
Thanks for all your comments!
Carlo
