  • WHAT INSPIRES YOU?

    My first ever solo performance was at the royal festival hall as part of the Rhythm Sticks festival in the late 80s. That was a whole new world for me, a packed audience and a whole new path to travel.

  • WORDS OF WISDOM FOR THE NEXT GENERATION OF DRUMMERS

    Actually, this is the other way around. Creativity, as a force, drives me. We are just the messengers, NOT the message. We will pass away and creativity will continue to flourish as a life force. I feel blessed to give myself over to its energy.

  • FAVORITE ZILDJIAN CYMBAL/COMBO

    To me, VIC FIRTH has always been the industry leader. The quality and consistency of the product is unparalelled and the philosophy of the company is pure to the heart. Right from the days when Vic kept on the few people at his new factory and decided to get them to make pepper mills because all the drum stick related jobs were taken. This level of caring and detail seeps right through the company.
