Drums

As I learn to play, I've been collecting sheet music, riffs, rudiments, practice sessions, helpful links and videos for easy reference.

Language

I'm currently learning Italian with plans to also master Spanish, French and German!

Attualmente sto imparando l'italiano, con programmi per imparare e migliorare il mio spagnolo, tedesco e francese. La mia famiglia e io viaggeremo per il mondo nel nostro yacht San Lorenzo e parleremo con chiunque nella loro madrelingua che sia disposto ad ascoltare! Il mio messaggio è che puoi realizzare tutto ciò che puoi sognare finché credi e non mollare mai. Sei fluente? Mi piacerebbe praticare una di queste lingue con te!
