  • WHAT INSPIRES YOU?

    At 15, my second year in High School Jazz Band, there was a competition where one song included Buddy Rich's "West Side Story." My performance earned me a scholarship to Stan Kenton's Band camp. My first "next level experience."

  • WORDS OF WISDOM FOR THE NEXT GENERATION OF DRUMMERS

    Any and all things from experiencing and learning about different styles and cultures of music, including listening to different musicians and other non-musical life experiences.

  • FAVORITE ZILDJIAN CYMBAL/COMBO

    It’s a long relationship, that started with the man himself around 1982, giving me the opportunity to endorse his product (that I was already playing). My sticks will always be my favorite… it’s what I use most to create.
