Alter Bridge - Creed - Projected

I started playing drums at 18, but was always drawn to them from an early age. I played piano and saxophone as a kid, then finally convinced my parents to let me explore the drums. It was the sounds of John Bonham, Will Calhoun and Matt Cameron that fueled my obsession. Then the discovery of hundreds of other drummers and musicians made me want to explore this as a career. I met amazing bandmates in college, and we were lucky enough to create relevant music at the right time. I've been fortunate enough to continue that path and career for many years now.

  • WHAT INSPIRES YOU?

    Simply the love of music. Listening, creating, performing ... from the most simplistic to complex songs. It will always be my driving force.

  • WORDS OF WISDOM FOR THE NEXT GENERATION OF DRUMMERS

    Be yourself ... I definitely found nuances from previous and current players that I've tried to incorporate into my playing, as we all do, but I tried to use them more for inspiration, rather than emulate.
