  • WHAT INSPIRES YOU?

    I'm inspired by the joy I feel when I play a great show, record a new song, and when I see the excitement someone else has listening to music that I'm a part of. The passion to continue creating never ends.

  • WORDS OF WISDOM FOR THE NEXT GENERATION OF DRUMMERS

    Music isn’t about making money, it’s about inspiring others and making an impact, whether it’s big or small. Focus on what drives you daily, invest in yourself, and define your own success.

  • FAVORITE ZILDJIAN CYMBAL/COMBO

    If I was trapped on a desert island and could only have two cymbals, it would be a 19" A Custom Crash and 14" K Custom Dark Hi Hats. There's something about this combination that can't be beat.
