  • WHAT INSPIRES YOU?

    Playing live music with good musicians. I feel lucky to have played with some of the best.

  • WORDS OF WISDOM FOR THE NEXT GENERATION OF DRUMMERS

    Keep your ears open. Keep growing. Take lessons.

  • FAVORITE ZILDJIAN CYMBAL/COMBO

    I use a different set up for every situation. My go to cymbals for local gigs are the 20 K ride, 14 K hi hats and the 15" and 18" A Custom crashes.
