  • WHAT INSPIRES YOU?

    My inspiration and creativity is driven by diversity. Every style of music including Classical, Jazz, Fusion, Rock, Country, R&B, World, and Prog inspires me to continually learn and grow.

  • WORDS OF WISDOM FOR THE NEXT GENERATION OF DRUMMERS

    Always keep pushing yourself to the next level. Even if you are “successful” and “comfortable”, always keep practicing, listening, learning and improving. Challenge yourself daily. Secondly, share your knowledge and talents with others and “pass it forward”.

  • FAVORITE ZILDJIAN CYMBAL/COMBO

    My 20” K Custom Medium Ride is the sweetest cymbal! It is versatile with great stick definition that cuts through even in the loudest setting, a beautiful warm and dark tonality that blends well in a wide variety of dynamic situations, and a fabulous bell sound. I Love It!
