  • WHAT INSPIRES YOU?

    Knotfest w/ Trivium on Dec 5th, 2015 to a crowd of 40,000 people! It was my first show with the metal group Trivium of which Mike Mangini (Dream Theater) got me in touch with. The show was amazing considering I only had 3 days to learn their 45 min set :)

  • WORDS OF WISDOM FOR THE NEXT GENERATION OF DRUMMERS

    Songwriting! Love getting into the studio and plotting vocal melodies and creating drum parts that drive the bus for the song's arrangement.

  • FAVORITE ZILDJIAN CYMBAL/COMBO

    I joined Vic Firth in 2008 and haven't looked back! Once in you're in you are family as they say. I couldn't imagine using a different brand of stick. My go to stick choice is and has been Extreme 5B's for a while now!
