ABOUT

Update: April 2024. I'm currently seeking a band to play drums and/or percussion in. I'm also open to a start up. I can host rehearsals/writing sessions in my studio on the east side of Madison. I'm a drum set player and percussionist versed in Funk, Latin, Brazilian, West African, Jazz and more. Play a wide variety of percussion instruments from around the world. From a tiny shaker to massive, Brazilian surdos and things in between.

You can find me on the face of the book /DrumsAndPercussion608
