Currently playing the hit Broadway show "Aint Too Proud", the life and times of the Temptations and also, "The Dizzy Gillespie Latin Experience"

I moved to New York City in 1977 with the band "Niteflyte" and soon became an in-demand studio musician. I've recorded with Dave Grusin and his GRP label, the Rolling Stones, Blondie, among many other artists in the 80's. Tours with Michael Franks and Al Dimeola were highlights in that decade also. In the 90's I joined Vanessa Williams Band and Then Luther Vandross, and I also began playing Broadway shows which I am still doing.

  • What Drives Your Creativity?

    I still have a great desire to grow as a player. I am inspired by other Master Percussionists and excited by the never ending depths of knowledge to be explored.

  • Why do you choose Vic Firth?

    I choose to use Vic Firth products because i know i can rely on their great craftsmanship and consistency of excellence. I am proud to endorse these sticks and be among so many other great drummers who do so.
