ABOUT

Professional drummer for over 20 years. Been in Austin for about 8 years now and looking to work! I'm into all kinds of music- top 40 pop/rock, modern rock, jazz, etc, but really love dance floor stuff like funk, soul, R&B. Also have experience with live sound and studio engineering/producing.

EQUIPMENT

My current drum kit is a 7pc custom kit built by Jeff Kirsch- sounds amazing. Also have a vintage Ludwig silver sparkle for that old school sound! For cymbals I mostly play Zildjian K custom darks, but I do have a set of Paiste Signatures for that bright, aggressive rock sound, and a set of Paiste Traditionals for the dirty, trashy blues stuff- they also work well with industrial and hiphop.
