WHAT INSPIRES YOU?

I'm a singer first, drummer second, so I think the first time that I played drums and sang lead at my first ever concert was one of my memorable experiences. There's nothing like combining both of those skills and knowing you are leading the train.
WORDS OF WISDOM FOR THE NEXT GENERATION OF DRUMMERS

I like to come at songs with what fits first and then try to play something that normally would be on a hi hat and snare and switch it to a tom or a rim click or a shaker. You always get a different aesthetic that might make something simple sound that much cooler.
FAVORITE ZILDJIAN CYMBAL/COMBO

With Vic Firth, you can always count on a reliable, balanced stick. They always precise in feel and weight.
