  • WHAT INSPIRES YOU?

    I get inspiration from listening to the musicians whose playing I love, practicing daily, improvising and playing gigs with other musicians who put their spirit and heart into the music.

  • WORDS OF WISDOM FOR THE NEXT GENERATION OF DRUMMERS

    My advice to younger musicians is to cultivate your love for the music! Listen to music every day for inspiration, practice your instrument to develop your musicianship, get into a flow and search inside yourself to find your own touch, sound and ideas. Improvise everyday!

  • FAVORITE ZILDJIAN CYMBAL/COMBO

    I like to combine my 21" Renaissance Ride sound lab prototype with my 20" Constantinople Renaissance ride with some vintage K Zildjian Cymbals that I play.
