  • WHAT INSPIRES YOU?

    What inspires me to be a drummer is the vigour of rhythm - Story telling without words. Drumming keeps me grounded and connected - to the music, to my closest people, and to myself. It’s about serving the song and bringing it to life with purpose and feel.

  • WORDS OF WISDOM FOR THE NEXT GENERATION OF DRUMMERS

    Respect the craft and learn from as many people as possible — even people who don’t play your style. Stay humble, and remember why you started: because you love it.

  • FAVORITE ZILDJIAN CYMBAL/COMBO

    22" K Light Ride - I have used it on every project and it has never failed to deliver.
