  • WHAT INSPIRES YOU?

    I get inspired by nearly every type of music and that's what keeps drumming fresh for me decade after decade :)

  • WORDS OF WISDOM FOR THE NEXT GENERATION OF DRUMMERS

    Practice hard - not just at playing drums, but also at being a great musician. That means playing for the song, "sharing the air" with our jam mates, and being kind! Practice hard enough at these skills and there will always be a next gig.

  • FAVORITE ZILDJIAN CYMBAL/COMBO

    I love combining my 16'' K Custom Session Crash with my 22'' K Constantinople Medium Thin Ride.
