  • WHAT INSPIRES YOU?

    I remember one of my 1st shows with Hunter Hayes was at the O2 arena in London. It marked the beginning of a new season and level of playing for me where I was free to be completely me from behind the drums. Crowd was buzzing and we played our asses off. A memorable evening for sure.

  • WORDS OF WISDOM FOR THE NEXT GENERATION OF DRUMMERS

    Definitely other creative, musical drummers that think outside the box but also purposefully creating space to make music and collaborate with other artists, musicians and songwriters.

  • FAVORITE ZILDJIAN CYMBAL/COMBO

    VF products just feel great in my hands - well balanced and consistent. They are the perfect extension of my hands behind the kit!
