I bought my first kit by pooling birthday money with my brother and knew from my first time behind the drums that I was hooked. As a founding member of Young the Giant, I've had the amazing opportunity to work with a wide range of inspiring producers and musicians around the world. I'm always looking to improve my craft and I rely heavily on Vic Firth products!

Most memorable Next-Level Performance
The most memorable performance I can think of was our first time selling out Red Rocks Amphitheater. There's something about playing a show to 10,000 people and still having it feel intimate that is unlike any venue I've ever played. -
What Drives Your Creativity?
I love keeping my ears open for different sounds and rhythms I encounter in my everyday life. I always have my phone ready to record interesting patterns. There's so much inspiration in the world if you pay attention. -
Why do you choose Vic Firth?
I've wanted to be a Vic Firth artist since I picked up my first pair of sticks. All of my favorite players have been involved with Vic Firth so I figured they were doing something right!
