ABOUT

I am a professional minded musician looking for full time gig work. I can travel overseas and/or work in one location. I love playing a strong groove but can also provide flash and chops when required. My goal has always been to be a well rounded drummer who is able to adapt to a variety of musical situations from Rock to Funk, R&B and classical to jazz.

Influences

My drumming influences range from great clinicians such as Jojo Mayer, and Thomas Lang to drumming heavy weights such as Buddy Rich, Steve Smith and Dave Weckel to more modern influences as well like Danny Carey and Josh Freese.

EQUIPMENT

I play an Epek Percussion Kit (sponsorship deal) 6 piece, although I change the kit depending on the gig. I use Paiste Cymbals, DW hardware and Sonor Pedals. Another special feature with my kit is that all of the drums have the MAY Internal Miking system.
