About
Through the years I have worked on developing my own unique voice on the drumset. Imitation played a huge part in developing this voice. Max Roach, Kenny Clarke, Philly Jo Jones to name a few. I listen actively and attentively to as much music as possible and incorporate what I hear into my playing. Above all else I have a great time.
