  • WHAT INSPIRES YOU?

    I learn something new from each drumming moment.

  • WORDS OF WISDOM FOR THE NEXT GENERATION OF DRUMMERS

    The music.

  • FAVORITE ZILDJIAN CYMBAL/COMBO

    Every Vic Firth product I play has a terrific "throw" built-in to its design and manufacture. There's no other stick, mallet or brush I'd rather play.
