  • WHAT INSPIRES YOU?

    I love music which is all about emotion, groove, great writing, great sounds and taking chances. I love drummers who play with positive energy and who are at the central emotional point of the music.

  • WORDS OF WISDOM FOR THE NEXT GENERATION OF DRUMMERS

    Aim to get outside of your comfort zone – see the world, and ALWAYS keep an open mind about music and art. Remember – you’re a human being first, then an artist, and then a musician who plays the drums.

  • FAVORITE ZILDJIAN CYMBAL/COMBO

    I love my using my 22” K custom medium ride in combination with my 19” A Avedis crash/ride and 20” Oriental China Trash.
