Serious young drummer here looking to collaborate only on serious projects, corporate/wedding/cruise ship gigs, and/or touring bands. Currently staying busy with many other bands and projects ranging from jazz, hip-hop, post-hardcore, alternative, indie, and prog. High level of professionalism and realistic compensation would get me very interested. But it all comes down to having a fun-ass time playing!

I have experience playing venues throughout NYC (Highline Ballroom/Gramercy Theatre/Webster Hall (The Studio)/Rockwood Music Hall Stage 2/Knitting Factory/Bowery Electric/Pianos/Mercury Lounge/etc.), as well as out of state (Pennsylvania/Connecticut/Indiana/Nashville), and I have gone on a small tour in the midwest (Chicago and Minneapolis)

Formerly a student at the New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music in downtown Manhattan.
