Here you can listen parts of my stuff. Enjoy it.












Centerfolds is from studies I wrote for the drumset. Each study suits with different levels from biginners to advanced drummers.


AUDIO : MP3 : CENTERFOLDS


Always from my bunch of drumset studies. Zootograph in its first part is inspired from biguine rhythm. Here are drumset, congas, wwod-block and cow-bells.


AUDIO : MP3 : ZOOTOGRAPH


From Zootograph again, the biginning of the second part builds a samba rhyhm. With agogos and ganza.


AUDIO : ZOOTOGRAPH : SAMBA


The first part of this study, Materia Boulevard, is based on a 3/4 rhythm with strong cuban roots. Gradually it goes to a real 6/8 cuban, then comes a snare drum march to end with a 12/8 cuban rhythm.


AUDIO : MP3 : MATERIA BOULEVARD


This sample is the from the introduction of Ataflop (my musical tale). It's based on a djembe ostinato in 5/8 and drums and cuban percussions plays in 5/4


AUDIO : MP3 : ATAFLOP


The next samples illustrates my last exploration on the drumset. I try to mix various percussion instruments in the drumset, try to play them sae time. Sometimes I use basic roots or I create new things. This bossa-nova is played with a pandeiro (the left hand hold it, the right hand play it), the clave is played on a wood-block with my left foot and my right foot plays an usual bass drum pattern.


AUDIO : MP3 : BOSSA-NOVA


Same kind, a cuban pattern : the son-montuno, with accents on the ponche. The left hand plays the conga, the right hand plays the mambo cow-bell, the left foot plays the clave on a wood-block and the right foot plays a tumbao pattern on the bass drum.


AUDIO : MP3 : SON-MONTUNO


Another cuban rhythm, a ternary one called bembe. Same instruments played same way.


AUDIO : MP3 : BEMBE


A try in west-african style. Jansa is a wellknown rhythm. Dununs and cow-bells are played on the drumset, dununs on tom-toms (right hand) and bass drum, the originally cow-bell part is played on the high-hat with the left and. With two djembe parts added.


AUDIO : MP3 : JANSA


Trashy Songo is my hard rock version of the cuban songo, the trashy sound is made with a china and a crash cymbal stacked together.


AUDIO : MP3 : TRASHY SONGO


Mandala is a song from french singer Maéso I played with. Here is the live version. With again a drumset and a conga drum played same time.


AUDIO : MP3 : MANDALA


Another song from Maéso, same way to play.


AUDIO : MP3 : LA LUNE


A more personal approach of a song from Maéso. A re-recording with drumset, congas and timbales.


AUDIO : MP3 : BALLE DE MATCH


A track from the band Hot Space Truckers with wich I live a nice musical journey, thank you Laurent and Patrick. Lover Trux is the first song from our first album at Brennus. The main rhythm is played on two high-hats, one on the left side and one on the right side. I often mix the two sounds.


AUDIO : MP3 : LOVER TRUX
