WORDS OF WISDOM FOR THE NEXT GENERATION OF DRUMMERS

My creative flow is easily driven by my Faith, Family and those that genuinely and generously support. My peers also play a unique role in what drives me creatively. Having those around that continue to push you as well as remaining a student, you will forever have a new level to unlock which allows for that creativity to continue to show itself.
