  • WHAT INSPIRES YOU?

    It seems like the most memorable gigs are the high pressure ones! Like the time I was drumming for the Danish Jazz singer Sinne Eeg, and had only time for a talk through before before a the concert. Those situations have a way of opening your ears!

  • WORDS OF WISDOM FOR THE NEXT GENERATION OF DRUMMERS

    Many times I need to come up with new ideas for educational workshops. I really like to have new things up my sleeve.

  • FAVORITE ZILDJIAN CYMBAL/COMBO

    My stick bag contains all of my favorite tools and I'm not afraid to mix things up. Like a stick and a brush, or a Rute and a mallet, etc.
