I've been drumming in New York City for 20 years now, and have played the Dirty Pearls, the Sex Slaves, the Union Dead, the AKAs, Victor V Gurbo, and am currently fronting (and doing some of the drumming for) Midnight Crisis, and playing drums with PELVI$$.

Most memorable Next-Level Performance
A few years back, while I was drumming with the Dirty Pearls at the Gramercy Theater in NYC, our friend Lady Gaga jumped onstage and started singing with us in the middle of one of our songs, which was quite fast. The song turned into a 20-minute medley of songs that we all like, mashed-up within the context of the song we were playing. But, I had to keep the beat up with 8th notes at 178 BPMs for the duration of it. No problem. -
