ABOUT

New video: s://.be/F7SfVrFx_GQ

I am a versatile drummer and percussionist whose number one priority is composing and playing the most fitting part for the song. I tend to play in the realm of rock music with a bend towards funk, blues, folk, and indie. Though now solidly in the rock world, I have played in jazz combos in the past and draw on dynamics and feel from those experiences. Studying with some great teachers in the Twin Cities area has expanded my musical range. I have the time to commit to a project with momentum or to form something new.
