  • WHAT INSPIRES YOU?

    My first show with J Cole, I was called to cover for Rashid Williams with no rehearsals. The pressure was on me! J Cole was pretty nervous about some new drummer because he hasn't heard him prior to performance. He just had to trust everyones word. Now its show time and BOOM!!! I played every break and accent in that show perfectly! That show took my confidence to the top!

  • WORDS OF WISDOM FOR THE NEXT GENERATION OF DRUMMERS

    Depends on what mode I am in. If I'm in drummer mode, checking out other incredible drummers inspires me. If I'm in producer mode then listening to a total body of work inspires me. Also Hanging around people that are incredible also pushes me.

  • FAVORITE ZILDJIAN CYMBAL/COMBO

    I choose Vic Firth for their consistency and comfort. If there's ever a show that I have to play, with the wrong backline. I just need to make sure my drumsticks are right to get the job done. Basically you're all I need Vic. hehehehe :)
