ABOUT

19 year old drummer from the Syracuse area of NY. I've been playing 3 years, but I've got so much experience playing you'd never know. I've never been in an actual band, but what I lack in that kind of experience I make up for in ability, potential, and dedication. I have been on one drumline or another since 10th grade, and have played venues from high school gymnasiums to football stadiums of 80,000+ AND live on ESPN with the USC Marching band Drumline. If you're looking for a drummer, I can play just about any style of music, but prefer Funk, Jazz, R&B, Rap, Rock, Metal, and Blues. ( I am counting all of the events i've ever played, including marching band competitions, high school percussion ensemble performances, etc. as gigs. I have only played one gig with a "real" band, and it was a church concert where we learned the songs 6 hours before)

Influences

Medeski, Martin, and Wood; Emerson, Lake, and Palmer; Rage against the Machine; Metallica; Santa Clara Vanguard; the Cavaliers; the Dorman H.S. and USC Marching bands (The fact that I have been on a drumline constantly for 3 years allows me to bring a unique, fresh sound to any group. It is not a common influence, but I think that's why it sounds so interesting)

EQUIPMENT
