  • WHAT INSPIRES YOU?

    Recording "When You're Smiling" with Michael Bublé. There's a breakdown section, just drums and vocals. I locked in with his grove on a level I had never felt before with any musician.

  • WORDS OF WISDOM FOR THE NEXT GENERATION OF DRUMMERS

    Toe Tapping, Foot Tapping, Head Bobbing, or Dancing of any kind. My #1 priority in everything I play is the feel and groove. When I see that, I know that I'm doing my job.

  • FAVORITE ZILDJIAN CYMBAL/COMBO

    The Legacy Brush is the perfect weighted brush for me. It allows me to effortlessly glide the brush across the drum for smooth sweeps, while getting a deep, gushy snap, especially on lower tuned snare drums.
