ABOUT

I am a drummer in the DC area with a passion for playing music. I have played a variety of different styles including Hard Rock, Metal, Progressive Rock/Metal, Contemporary Christian, Pop, and R&B. I am available for session/recording work as well as gigs. I bring both a solid work ethic and a professional attitude when contributing to projects and have a great stage presence refined by years of performing.

Presently, I am the drummer for the Maryland-based, hard rock band CYRENIC. I've released five full length albums with the band - Dying To Live (2011), Selective Memory (2013), Metaphor (2014), Medusa (2016), and Nightingale (2018). All albums are available on iTunes and by visiting the band's official website .cyrenic. You can also check us out on Spotify and review our EPK here - ://artistecard/Cyrenic1234

I am also the drummer for Off Color, a DC area cover band that performs music ranging from Motown and funk to classic rock and dance.

"Dying To Live", the new project from Baltimore-based band Cyrenic, is set to be released on November 29th. Fans of the Brian Zuckerman's previous albums will find this new project to be the band's most ambitious project to date. Dying To Live, which features the added talents of Kevin Holmes on lead guitar, Don Pastorius on bass, and Keith Pereira on drums, is definitely rocker that will certainly tweak the ear of hard rock fans.

The album is available on the band's website - cyrenic.com - as well as iTunes and Amazon.
