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 !!!

I'M ALIVE - Jonny Cooke-Tom Adams-Maira Huisman-Carlo Presti-Van Gabriel Productions

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
