WHAT INSPIRES YOU?
Watching audiences react to the SCV drumline warmups during the summer of 2004. While not performance moments for me, they were opportunities to revel in what we had created together!
WORDS OF WISDOM FOR THE NEXT GENERATION OF DRUMMERS
Listening to as wide a variety of music as I can get my ears on. I also receive a ton of inspiration from musicians like Frank Zappa, Doudou N’Diaye Rose, Nik Bärtsch, Mark Guiliana, and many others.
