  • WHAT INSPIRES YOU?

    It was my birthday, playing mainstage on a cruise ship with UMC. We rocked out on top of the ship while we were moving towards the sunset, water all around us. The crowd was doing circle pits and mosh pits in the pool in front of the stage. We rocked that slot so hard, jumped in the pool with them and just went hard. That was an unbelievable experience.

  • WORDS OF WISDOM FOR THE NEXT GENERATION OF DRUMMERS

    All sorts of music and emotions.

  • FAVORITE ZILDJIAN CYMBAL/COMBO

    Vic Firth Sticks are so well crafted, reliable and the people at FV are just awesome. With those sticks I can focus on the music 100% instead of managing gear problems. So I'm really fortunate and blessed to play them every day.
