DRUM SET NEEDS TO SOUND DIRTY ENOUGH
I love playing drums, and I always liked combining different elements, searching
for a different sound on my instrument. When I was young, I used to put two
different cymbals one on top of the other to get dirty crash sounds. The same
thing I do today.
I wish drums warn't as heavy, because I love playing big drum sets, and each
time I have to carry my own drum set to the gig, I carry 50 kilos! Drum factories
ought to invent something out of lighter materials...
Speaking of Qzama, they are a part of my soul. All the members are truly my good
friend and soul mates. I wish we could practice and play every day, actually I
wish we could play together forever.
