ABOUT

Able solid drummer ...humble, happy and willing to learn. I like being in a creative band ...seems I have been lucky enough to follow my dreams and reach some mile stones ...looking to continue after some time off raising my kids.

I have been able to play in many genres and make an impact ...brazilian samba reggae axe, African Juju, Ska, Americana, Irish, Cajun, Latin, Mexican ...and of course so many points between.

Some credits/highlights ...
Founding drummer for Dan Kibler and El Kabong ...Dan later achieved Americana top 10 charts in 2012. My Brazilian band Amor Tropical opened for Caetano Veloso at the Kimmel Center in 2005, I toured with Barleyjuice in 2015 and was their back up drummer for 10 years prior. I have a ska release with Notchoma on women of ska, volume 2 from 1999. I just completed 15 tracks in the studio in 2019 with a producer that worked with EIEO's drummer Scott Gorsuch. Studio work in Philly at 3rd story recording.

EQUIPMENT

see the picture

I am branching out into other instruments and vocals as well as into my own 16 track studio with the Logic DAW and Scarlett Preamps.

I enjoy programming and using the Vdrums as much as my studio kits ...Premier Signia kit is the main kit. (1942 Leedy Snare) My knowledge and experience of rhythms from across the world is a driving force in my own compositions ...cd and website forthcoming.
