  • WHAT INSPIRES YOU?

    Being hired by Jennifer Holliday to hold down the drum chair for 2 sold out runs of the broadway smash, Dreamgirls was pretty awesome. It’s a notoriously rigorous drum book that rarely lets up, and calls on all of one’s skills - reading, dynamics and stamina. You have to stay connected the entire time.

  • WORDS OF WISDOM FOR THE NEXT GENERATION OF DRUMMERS

    Music is the greatest healing force in the world. Second to the human voice, the drums is the most elemental instrument there is. I’m honored to be a musician, and to be an instrument of healing and inspiration.

  • FAVORITE ZILDJIAN CYMBAL/COMBO

    The legacy of quality and innovation is undeniable, unmistakable and unparalleled. My first pair of sticks was made by Vic Firth, and the same will be true of my last.
