  • WHAT INSPIRES YOU?

    I am inspired by the synergy that is created between different musicians performing music together. Add an audience in that mix and it is truly a beautiful thing. The energy is awesome. I also find inspiration in the most mundane day to day thing, like using my car's indicator as a metronome and coming up with new rhythms in traffic.

  • WORDS OF WISDOM FOR THE NEXT GENERATION OF DRUMMERS

    Never stop loving what you do.

  • FAVORITE ZILDJIAN CYMBAL/COMBO

    Right now I am totally obsessed with the 18" K CONSTANTINOPLE CRASH https://zildjian.com/cymbals/k-family/k-constantinople/18-k-constantinople-crash and the K CON Hats!
