  • WHAT INSPIRES YOU?

    MGM Garden Arena in Las Vegas, I was using the X5A Grip Sticks, everything clicked on this day, everything went as it should and I just felt free to play however I wanted. It was like everything creatively in my mind translated directly to my hands and drums, which can actually be quite a task at times.

  • WORDS OF WISDOM FOR THE NEXT GENERATION OF DRUMMERS

    A lot of new music, I listen to tons of new music on a daily basis this normally opens my ears to new sounds and creativity. Majority of my creative influences are external to drums such as Takashi Murakami, and Matthew Williams. I just like to be the drumming version of those types of creatives.

  • FAVORITE ZILDJIAN CYMBAL/COMBO

    It's by fair the greatest stick company globally. It's in the product itself. I can buy a pair of Vic's in any music shop in any country and know that i'll be good to go for a show. it's been tested and proven on many tours.
