Most memorable Next-Level Performance
A Drumeo session where I was recording some Art Blakey and Elvin Jones tribute performances for a vintage kit from the 1960's. The music was challenging but when the solo sections arrived, everything just clicked. -
What Drives Your Creativity?
The constant pursuit of being a student of music and the drums. There's so much music out there from past and present, and so many incredible musicians to be inspired by from around the world. -
Why do you choose Vic Firth?
My first day playing drums was the first time I picked up a pair of Vic Firth sticks. The products are consistent, durable, dependable, and ultimately they help me achieve the sound I'm looking for when I'm sitting behind the kit. Vic Firth products are next to none.
