  • WHAT INSPIRES YOU?

    For me there wasn't that one moment. My progress is the result of my daily work and all the people I met along the way.
 To pick one memorable moment: arena support tour with Jesse Tellem and my closest friends.

  • WORDS OF WISDOM FOR THE NEXT GENERATION OF DRUMMERS

    Teaching drives my creativity the same as playing with artists. Explaining things in more than one way by using examples, comparisons and finding analogies makes me also think more creatively about my own playing.

  • FAVORITE ZILDJIAN CYMBAL/COMBO

    My 55A and AH5A sticks are the perfect connection between me as a person and the instrument I play. They allow me to play any style of music at any intensity I choose.
