WHAT INSPIRES YOU?
Lots of people including my colleagues in the orchestra, my parents who were both professional musicians and my students with their incredible work ethic. It also helps when you absolutely love the music you play.
WORDS OF WISDOM FOR THE NEXT GENERATION OF DRUMMERS
A big part of your career, especially as a freelancer, relies on people enjoying your company as well as working with you. If you sound great and are an 11/10 person, who wouldn't want to hire you?!
FAVORITE ZILDJIAN CYMBAL/COMBO
For your typical Romantic symphony, I start with 18s and 20s and adjust the choices as I go. It's always safe starting with the 18" Special Ks as a workhorse pair, and the 20" Classic Orchestrals for those big, triumphant crashes!
