  • WHAT INSPIRES YOU?

    Being challenged as a composer and a drummer is what inspires me the most. Making an effort to move past what I have already done in order to find new ways of expressing myself as a writer and a drummer is a source of endless joy and frustration. It isn't easy, but it is mightily rewarding!

  • WORDS OF WISDOM FOR THE NEXT GENERATION OF DRUMMERS

    Get off the smart phone - don't scroll your life away! Learn how to focus - practice keeping your attention on one thing for an extended period of time! Stay sober and clearheaded - no alcohol, no cigarettes, no drugs (marihuana is a drug)!!! Make your word count - don't be flaky! Get a thorough musical education; get a thorough overall education! Think for yourself, but do not hesitate to take good advice when needed!
