  • WHAT INSPIRES YOU?

    I’m at that next level when I don’t have to think about playing. When I’m just as much part of the audience as I am the guy behind the kit. That’s when the real magic happens. I was playing the Red Wing Festival in Virginia with Pokey LaFarge and we were just on it that night. I could tell that I was making them move. In the studio or on the stage that’s the goal.

  • WORDS OF WISDOM FOR THE NEXT GENERATION OF DRUMMERS

    What drives my creativity is the history of the instrument and carrying on its traditions through the music I perform . I love playing quietly when I have to and I try to make the band sound as good as they can.

  • FAVORITE ZILDJIAN CYMBAL/COMBO

    Really its a simple answer. I have been using Vic-Firth since the beginning, and I truly feel that there is no comparison. They last a long time too!
