  • WHAT INSPIRES YOU?

    Having a home studio to hit record whenever i want has been wonderful. Being able to listen back to a burst of inspiration and hear how your creativity can translate is invaluable, so i’m recording as often as i can. It's also one of the best ways to improve your focus behind the kit.

  • WORDS OF WISDOM FOR THE NEXT GENERATION OF DRUMMERS

    Be confident, proactive, disciplined, flexible, diverse, social and most importantly, align yourself with people who share all those same qualities. Define a unique voice but make sure it can be heard by everyone.

  • FAVORITE ZILDJIAN CYMBAL/COMBO

    My touring setup is the most versatile combo i put up. I use 15” New Beat Hats, 18” K Sweet Crash, 23” A Sweet Ride and a 20” Sweet Crash.
