  • WHAT INSPIRES YOU?

    I really enjoy playing with musicians I haven't played with before. There's something special about developed chemistry with artists and instrumentalists, but I love that first musical "conversation" with another musician.

  • WORDS OF WISDOM FOR THE NEXT GENERATION OF DRUMMERS

    Be a good human. Talent may get you an audition, but integrity and a humble attitude will get you the gig. Also.. don't be late for lobby calls.

  • FAVORITE ZILDJIAN CYMBAL/COMBO

    I can't get enough of this stack: 17" K Custom Special Dry Trash Crash on the bottom, 16" FX Spiral Trash in the middle, and a 16" K Constantinople Crash on top. Also love the 19" K Custom Special Dry Trash Crash.
