Schlagwerk - Percussion handmade in Germany.

Antonello Giorgi

Antonello has always been a percussionist: ever since the days when he beat his mother's washing powder boxes ... with wooden spoons. Later he asked for a drum kit at Christmastime. Unfortunately it was too expensive, but he did get a Charleston drum and a snare ... which was a dream come true!
He started the band Teobaldi Rock with his friend Luca Carboni and other musical friends from his neighbourhood. The band was part of the underground movement in Bologna, which was spreading at that time through the cellars of Bologna filling them with an incredible creative energy. Just think of the mythical band Skiantos.
After taking the first steps alone, he felt the need to study music formally, to learn to read music and to start practising the rudiments of his art. Studying with two very talented private tutors allowed him to express his funk and rock soul to the fullest extent. Later, he continued to deepen his knowledge of his instrument on his own by studying the performances of the best drummers from overseas.
He has been playing percussion for some years now, which he perceives as fundamental to complete his knowledge of his cultural background and experience. “Percussion is the most sublime part of rhythm ... every instrument has its own history, an important history!”
