I've been playing drums for around 15 years now. I have taken drum lessons for most of that time, mostly with Martin Bradfield. I also spent a semester at Berklee, before doing what most Berklee kids do and dropping out. Stylistically I mix a bit of everything, but am leaning more towards a jazzy style. At this point I'm trying to truly find my voice on the instrument, which has been fun and rewarding. Mostly I want my playing to be creative and expressive. Musically I like stuff that has a lot of variety. I'm looking to play with musicians who are open to anything, and enjoy mixing styles and having fun messing with music.
