  • WORDS OF WISDOM FOR THE NEXT GENERATION OF DRUMMERS

    Serve the song. Listen hard. Don't show off. Learn from everything and everyone. Network.

  • FAVORITE ZILDJIAN CYMBAL/COMBO

    My favourite Zildjians by far are the Avedis Hats and Kerope Crash/Rides. These with my A Custom Sizzle Ride are all I'll ever need.
