Most memorable Next-Level Performance
Playing a sold out Madison Square Garden show with Death Cab for Cutie was so surreal. All the people, the room and it's great depth seem to disappeared and I felt like I was in a small studio recording an intimate album. -
What Drives Your Creativity?
I'm addicted to personal growth and always diving deeper into my instrument. That could mean anything from improving technique, or independence, playing time or just searching for a new approach to inspire me every time i sit down. -
Why do you choose Vic Firth?
Without a doubt, Vic Forth makes the most consistent drum sticks on the planet. i used to work in drum shops and every single pair felt better than anything else i played, and professionally they have always felt perfect in my hands.
