Most memorable Next-Level Performance
When The Cult played with the Who in South America with over 100,000 screaming fans. South American crowds are always amazing shows since they sing so loud. -
What Drives Your Creativity?
Listening to records, I grew up with listening to the drummers of the 70’s, going to shows. Checking out drummers/friends around LA, Danny Carry is a close friend and live near by. -
Why do you choose Vic Firth?
Vic Firth makes the best sticks. I fell in love with the 3a’s when they first came out. Also, they are Family owned. An amazing stick I can rely on, very consistent, and everything I need in a stick.
