Like many drummers, I started playing drums before I actually had drums. I got my first kit on my 15th birthday and was already in a band (of sorts) with friends using buckets and pots & pans... about 3 months after getting the kit, my band, "Youngblood" performed at my junior high assembly. A couple years later, I met an unknown Sammy Hagar. Sammy actually auditioned for the 2nd band I had joined, "The Mobile Home Blues Band." From that initial meeting, we've been friends and gigging off and on since¦are you ready¦1968! Over the years, along with Sammy, I've had the honor of playing and recording with many great artists, e.g. Chuck Berry, Eddie Van Halen, Billy Sheehan, Bootsy Collins, Michael Anthony, Greg Kihn, Roy Rogers, Ted Nugent and any more. I've been with Vic Firth for over 20 and love their product!
