WHAT INSPIRES YOU?

On one show during a cross Europe tour, everything started out wrong. Delayed flights and van hold ups. Barely any time to eat a couple quick bites before a rushed soundcheck on the way to hit the stage. But wouldn't you know it, this was one of the best shows of the tour! Counterintuitively, when the stakes are high and we must deliver, these can become our shining moments. Playing the Sonor Drumfest was another surreal experience where I got to drum for my peers and mentors, coming full circle in my drumming journey, so far.
WORDS OF WISDOM FOR THE NEXT GENERATION OF DRUMMERS

I use drumming as a tool for bold self expression, to push the boundaries of my potential. Living on the razor's edge of what's possible to explore something that's never been done fuels my creativity and inspires me to play at a new level every time!
