  • WHAT INSPIRES YOU?

    I remember sitting at the drum kit in New York, and having a ten-minute introduction to open handed drumming. Those ten minutes gave me a completely new perspective of creativity, and influenced all the great moments I’ve experienced while playing music.

  • WORDS OF WISDOM FOR THE NEXT GENERATION OF DRUMMERS

    My drumming is driven by the beauty of a melody or a sound. Every time intensity, passion, authenticity, truth and excellence are around, it gives me ideas, inspires me and leads me to play with creativity.

  • FAVORITE ZILDJIAN CYMBAL/COMBO

    When I met Vic for the first time, I sensed passion and dedication in his work. He just simply put in my hands the most outstanding and consistent sticks ever. You know, I play Vic Firth sticks by conviction!
