  • WHAT INSPIRES YOU?

    I admire musicians with a diverse vocabulary who consistently find the perfect drum fill and groove for a song. While I appreciate virtuosity, I believe the perfect drum fill isn't necessarily the most technical. I find cold and melancholic music more captivating than warm and danceable tunes, but I recognize value in various styles!

  • WORDS OF WISDOM FOR THE NEXT GENERATION OF DRUMMERS

    Patience is key: mastering music requires time and effort. However, don't delay your progress by waiting to feel "ready" because you'll never truly be. Embrace mistakes as opportunities for growth and dive into learning. Perfection isn't necessary, but always strive to do your best.

  • FAVORITE ZILDJIAN CYMBAL/COMBO

    My trusty old Z Custom Mega Bell ride 21" has been by my side since 2006, accompanying me on countless journeys, and I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world! This cymbal is extraordinary, now considered a collector's item.
