What Drives Your Creativity?
People is what drives me to play. From family and friends, audiences, to things that other people accomplish or innovate. It is what i draw inspiration from. Drum sound will dictate my playing and give me the set of colours to work with. -
Why do you choose Vic Firth?
Vic Firth is the first pair I 've ever used. They are balanced and matched to such perfection, it's easy to forget they are even there! They help me go deep into the music and express myself fully.
