I started playing drums in my basement my senior year of high school. I took three lessons and dove in. Since then Ive been blessed to play many styles of music with fabulous musicians. Im driven by a curiosity about every style of music. I want to know everything and hopefully that makes me a better teacher too. When Im learning new music I want to figure out what drove that composer and what they were thinking when they were writing. I want the audience to feel this when I play. If I can do that, Ill have accomplished something.
