For me, helping to bring a songwriters vision to life and honouring their intent is paramount. Music is all about joy, freeing ones self, and hopefully taking pleasure in moving in ways we often dont.

As a freelance drummer, I record original music with an eclectic variety of artists representing many genres including rock, blues, folk, country, pop, funk + soul. I also have a rich touring schedule, and am grateful for the opportunity to play live music that encompasses an even broader range of musical styles.

Recording, in studio or remotely, and playing gigs is where youll find me most of the time. Its what I live for.

  • WHAT INSPIRES YOU?

    Feeling incredibly nervous, I sat in with my pal Stanton Moore's group "Galactic" one steamy night in New Orleans years ago, and dropped some Canadian funk! I held my own and everyone in the band still talks to me!

  • WORDS OF WISDOM FOR THE NEXT GENERATION OF DRUMMERS

    I get jazzed with endless amounts of new music, plus, as a freelance drummer, I love diving into all the different styles and genres I get asked to do.

  • FAVORITE ZILDJIAN CYMBAL/COMBO

    I love being able to rely on Vic Firth sticks during those long nights, and those long tours. The Danny Carey Model, with it's slightly tapered handle has changed the game for me. Way more power but mixed with sublime nuance. It's a perfect stick, and I've played them all.
