  • WHAT INSPIRES YOU?

    The state of the world is my inspiration. Right now we are going thru so much turmoil as a planet and people. I try to play the pain away. My aim is to help the ailing world thru the healing power of music.

  • WORDS OF WISDOM FOR THE NEXT GENERATION OF DRUMMERS

    Play with EVERYONE. There is always something to learn from everyone, even if it’s “what not to do”. Study all styles. This will ensure job security. Take care of your body for longevity.

  • FAVORITE ZILDJIAN CYMBAL/COMBO

    I have too many favorites! Since the special dry series came out, I’m in love with the 21 trash crash and the 22 crash. I use the 17 trash crash as a top to a set of dry hats. The bottom is a 17’ A Heavy Crash. I love the versatility of these cymbals together.
