  • WHAT INSPIRES YOU?

    Listening to all styles of music and different drummers, talking about drums, teaching drums, doing research in neuroscience and cognitive psychology as they relate to motor skill development, handedness, learning, practice, and handedness, painting (expressionistic) and family (authenticity).

  • WORDS OF WISDOM FOR THE NEXT GENERATION OF DRUMMERS

    Don't try to be the next ____, be the first you. Find your own voice, be authentic, be honest, and mean it.

  • FAVORITE ZILDJIAN CYMBAL/COMBO

    I love the spectrum of sounds and colors that I get from the wide range of cymbals and combinations - dark, bright, dry, fast, thin, effects, traditional, modern, etc.
