  • WHAT INSPIRES YOU?

    My first summer tour with Avishai Cohen. I was about 19, fresh out of high-school and I remember performing at Jazz A Vienne, North Sea Jazz Festival and Montreax Jazz Festival at the same week. It was a dream come true for me. The crowd's energy just blew my mind.

  • WORDS OF WISDOM FOR THE NEXT GENERATION OF DRUMMERS

    Being able to be present, in everything I do. Life gives you endless creativity - you just need to be able to capture it.

  • FAVORITE ZILDJIAN CYMBAL/COMBO

    I love the balance Vic sticks have. They just feel right in my hand, almost like it's a part of it.
