  • WHAT INSPIRES YOU?

    Music and art in general keeps me going. On the drums I'm mostly inspired by the great rock'n'roll players, but all music drives me in one way or another. Anyone giving their best creatively or otherwise can inspire me.

  • WORDS OF WISDOM FOR THE NEXT GENERATION OF DRUMMERS

    Look after your mental health. It's just as important as the physical stuff.

  • FAVORITE ZILDJIAN CYMBAL/COMBO

    I generally prefer the K Series for their warmth and musicality. The 20" Custom EFX is also really fun. The K's and EFX have been my go-to for many years now.
