  • WHAT INSPIRES YOU?

    Great music inspires me - music that is honest and involves real musicians creating together. So many artists inspire me but the notable few are James Taylor, Buddy Rich, Vinnie Colaiuta, Dave Weckl and Steve Gadd. The joy of playing music with my friends keeps me going.

  • WORDS OF WISDOM FOR THE NEXT GENERATION OF DRUMMERS

    Practise, don't take short cuts, strive to always do better, be nice to people, don't drop your standards for anyone and know your worth.

  • FAVORITE ZILDJIAN CYMBAL/COMBO

    My favourite cymbal is my 22" Kerope. My favourite combination is a mix of the Keropes and the K Sweet range.
