  • WHAT INSPIRES YOU?

    Playing the lead off track of my fourth album to my first teacher, about thirty years after the first lesson we ever had (song is called Heart Bop). His comment was: "you've arrived"! I am too modest to mention all the drummers he compared me to...

  • WORDS OF WISDOM FOR THE NEXT GENERATION OF DRUMMERS

    The most beautiful moments in my creative life are when I feel inspired to write new music or when I am on the cusp or of working out a new way of expressing myself on my instrument. I usually feel super inspired to practice after I come of the road... If I could figure out what brings about those "music writing periods" I would certainly make every attempt to bottle it!!!

  • FAVORITE ZILDJIAN CYMBAL/COMBO

    My Vic Firth experience can be summed up in the following sentence: great people, excellent product!!! From sticks and mallets to brushes and studio headphones, my performance, recording, clinic and teaching needs are always met to the highest standard!
