Most memorable Next-Level Performance
Rehearsing and performing with Chick Corea (performed a 17 minute version of his tune 'Spain'-- in front of thousands of people, with members of Earth Wind And Fire on the side of the stage digging it) is when I kinda felt like 'I did it!!'...one of my ultimate goals was to reach a certain level of proficiency through hours and hours of practice....etc...to achieve this goal. -
What Drives Your Creativity?
I try to find positive aspects out of just about everyone's playing, and learn from it.When I perform, my theory and goal is- to learn, transcribe, soak up as much music as you can, and then just play (forget it) and let it just come out of you (hopefully...lol) -
Why do you choose Vic Firth?
I can't imagine using any other brand than my trusty Vic Firth 5B extremes !
