Most memorable Next-Level Performance
Finally getting the opportunity to play main stage Download was a pretty special experience for me. I’d been watching my favorite artists play Donnington since I was 15 so it was definitely one on the bucket list. -
What Drives Your Creativity?
The endless possibilities available behind the drum set are a constant source of inspiration. It’s virtually impossible to know everything. But the fact there is always more to learn keeps us all practicing, playing and trying to innovate. -
Why do you choose Vic Firth?
I’ve used Vic Firth sticks since I started drumming and have always found them to be reliable, well balanced and consistent in weight from pair to pair. They also have a great roster of amazing artists and great education network.
