When I first heard AC/DC, Led Zeppelin, and Dire Straits as a kid, the next logical step was to pick up sticks and figure out how to do THAT on the drums. These days, hearing a crushingly heavy track still brings a smile to my face and makes me want to stomp around the room and hear more, thats what its all about. Metal, punk, hardcore, blast beats, double kick, and everything in between, if the drums destroy and theres a wall of guitars and bass with a healthy amount of dynamics to keep things interesting, Im there!

Most memorable Next-Level Performance
Recording the Lo! album 'Vestigial'. I worked hard on techniques for speed and endurance for a metal band I was filling in for prior to recording. When it came time to record the Lo! album, everything fell into place. -
What Drives Your Creativity?
There are so many amazing drummers today, including a lot of largely unknown players, who are pushing drumming way beyond what I ever thought possible. Seeing what’s possible inspires me to keep practicing and learning new techniques and tricks. -
Why do you choose Vic Firth?
I’ve been playing Vic Firth sticks for well over 20 years and have tried the rest. The Vic Firth 5B wood tips are the perfect fit for me and work well across a range of styles.
