  • WHAT INSPIRES YOU?

    Vertical Horizon in Cologne, Germany. We had never been. The crowd sang along to every word. Never before or since have I felt in such communion with the music and an audience.

  • WORDS OF WISDOM FOR THE NEXT GENERATION OF DRUMMERS

    The music itself. Within the music, I'm allowing myself and anyone listening to it a chance to escape and go to some other place. It is the epitome of sharing the human experience.

  • FAVORITE ZILDJIAN CYMBAL/COMBO

    I finally found a stick that simply feels like it belongs in my hand. No hassle, no work. It's as if the stick popped itself into my hand and said, "Alright man...let's do this!"
