I play drums and hand percussion. I also make beats and samples on my computer and use them live and in the studio. I use a Roland SPD-S to trigger the loops and samples live while playing drums.

I enjoy side projects, both live and in the studio - supported by a well rounded collection of drums and cymbals. I used to teach part time, but now I prefer to focus on my own playing.

Musicians, contact me to collaborate on a recording or live performance.
