Influences
My earliest influences were classic rock albums my Father would play on the turntable. I always had an interest in music and at the age of 3 had my very first set of drums. As I got older I became very interested in progressive rock and jazz fusion (Zappa, Dave Matthews Band, Weather Report, Freddie Hubbard and Return to Forever to name a few). Also drummers like Manu Katche, Dennis Chambers, Stewart Copeland, Tim 'Herb' Alexander and Jojo Mayer became icons to me and have shaped a lot of my playing over the years. Of course the greats such as Papa Jo Jones, Tony Williams, Gene Krupa and Buddy Rich are constant reminders of what a great player can be and serve as a tremendous inspiration to my playing.
