  • WHAT INSPIRES YOU?

    The most memorable moment when I really unlocked my next-level performance was in college when I was playing with a 9 piece band at Logan Hall in London.

  • WORDS OF WISDOM FOR THE NEXT GENERATION OF DRUMMERS

    My passion for music, Eric Singer, Jason Bonham, Marco Minneman, Mike Mangini Taylor Hawkins, fans feedback, and passing on my skill to the next generation of drummers.

  • FAVORITE ZILDJIAN CYMBAL/COMBO

    I have used Vic Firth for my whole life because the drumsticks just felt right in my hand and that is extremely important - you have to be comfortable with the equipment you use. In Harry potter we are told the wand chooses the wizard, but in my case the drumstick chooses the drummer. They just feel like an extension of my body whenever I pick them up.
