Most Memorable Next-Level Performance?

When I played Jazz à La Villette in Paris with The Delvon Lamarr Organ Trio. It was my first show outside the U.S. and first time playing on TV!
What Drives Your Creativity?

I’m always trying to broaden my sound behind the kit. Both in staying versatile and trying new genres, as well as new covers for my social media that really push my current abilities and keep me inspired. I love a brain twisting exercise!
Why Do You Choose Vic Firth?

When I took my first drum lesson, I used Vic First 5As and studied out of the Vic Firth Snare Drum Method book. Vic Firth was the first drum brand that I knew about when I was a kid, and has always been a big part of my drumming. No pair of sticks have ever felt right like a pair of Vic Firths, and I’ve known that since I was a kid.
