  • WHAT INSPIRES YOU?

    Most drummers I hear will inspire me in some way. I try to concentrate on the sound they make and their energy as players and as people. Musicians who have been playing for a long time are the most inspiring.

  • WORDS OF WISDOM FOR THE NEXT GENERATION OF DRUMMERS

    I think the most important attribute for a musician is the ability to listen. Just like in a verbal conversation, it's about listening properly to what's being said, engaging with it and contributing, but leaving space.
