About Me |
|
I'm a professional drummer from Atlanta, GA. I currently perform with James Hall and other acts in Atlanta playing all styles of music from Jazz to Metal. I play about 200 nights a year or more and love doing session work. I also enjoy teaching lessons, and talking shop. I believe in working on chops for chops sake but personally enjoy the essential groove delivery when it comes to my playing style. The groove makes the booty shake...not the solo. I play with intense passion like every show is my last no matter the gig situation. I love meeting people at gigs and on the road. Hope to see you soon!I endorse Vic Firth drumsticks, Meinl Cymbals and Percussion, Pork Pie Drums, The Grip Peddler, and Drumshoes (www.drumshoes.com). I also uses DW Pedals and Hardware, and Aquarian drumheads |
