Most memorable Next-Level Performance
I'll never forget my first stadium show in Jakarta a few years back. 50k people, including the Indonesian President... Got me sweatin', but I couldn't get enough of the rush! -
What Drives Your Creativity?
Other people's creativity drives my own! I love hearing other drummers pushing and exploring. A lot of my inspiration also comes from life and experiences outside of music. -
Why do you choose Vic Firth?
For me, it's always been VicFirth. More than any other stick, VicFirth understands that drumsticks should simply be an extension of a drummer rather than a limitation. Unparalleled consistency and feel around the kit!! X8Ds all day.
