Most memorable Next-Level Performance
My most memorable performances include any time I was able to perform as a member of The Cadets Drum Line, and more currently any time I am able to collaborate with my great friends and colleagues in any musical setting! -
What Drives Your Creativity?
My creativity is driven by my great friends and mentors who I have been lucky enough to learn from and grow with. I am also inspired by a desire to cross the boundaries between marching, drum set, and concert percussion and develop a writing and playing style that incorporates all facets of percussion.
