  • WHAT INSPIRES YOU?

    My most memorable moment was in the South of France "Jazz at Juan" playing with The Gil Evans with guest Larry Coryell after The Tony Williams Quintet and The Michael Brecker Band. That was a moment I will never forget.

  • WORDS OF WISDOM FOR THE NEXT GENERATION OF DRUMMERS

    I've always been drawn to art and especially music. I just simply love to perform, travel around and share my music with people, thats what drives my creativity.

  • FAVORITE ZILDJIAN CYMBAL/COMBO

    I was a student of Vic Firth and thats when I first began to use his sticks. I loved the man and I love his sticks.
