The Jenerators

I've been studying and playing drums since I was 10. Snare lines, cruise ships, theme parks, The Wooten Brothers, The Warren Brothers, Bada Bing Bada Boom, Pat Patrick Big Band and now my band, The Jenerators. Under-grad from James Madison University, Master's Degree from University of Arizona, and a life-lesson degree from Nashville, TN, since 1992. I'm a swing drummer, song-writer's drummer, pocket-player, musician. Drumming grounds me... it roots me in the present. It connects me to the inherent groove within the heartbeat of Life itself. If I let go, it holds me. If I hold too tightly, I crack a little. It humbles me and makes me the biggest smallest thing there is.

  • WHAT INSPIRES YOU?

    I love being a part of the song... the part that makes people move... Working as a team, playing fair, in support of the lyric and melody... Using my whole body to create sound. And I love having the best seat in the house for celebrating this life!!

  • WORDS OF WISDOM FOR THE NEXT GENERATION OF DRUMMERS

    Know yourself. Be yourself. Love yourself. Share. Repeat.

  • FAVORITE ZILDJIAN CYMBAL/COMBO

    I love the Keropes, the Dark K Customs, and old vintage K's.
