About me:
I have been playing drums for 30 years. Originally began playing in the grade school ensembles and garage bands. However, my serious studies of drums and percussion really began with the great Kristen Shiner at Nazareth College in Rochester, NY and Dr. Frazier at the University of Fredonia, NY. After graduating with a 4 year Bachelors degree, I hopped a plane and moved to Hollywood California to attend the world renouned PIT. There I studied with the best drummers and musicians on the planet. Including Joe Porcaro, Ralph Humphrey, Toss Panos. Over the years I have professionally performed / recorded with: Rokzilla - Dave Boothbee (LA CA), Bad Things - Steve Cunningham, Darrin Robinson, Off Broadway show 'Beehive', Journey Tribute 'Captured' - Mike Staertow, Brian Copland, Kurt Allen, Andy Ramirez, Andy Knoll, The Chosen, Mr Hyde - Al Cenzi, Rob Schlafer, Brian Copland, Tempo, Heartland - Art Peragine, the Hart brothers, Most Wanted - Scott Pellingra, Made In The Shade - Rob Schlafer, Dave McGrath, A few Fishbone Soup gigs - Chris Castelon, Mike VanAllen, Mark Gregory. The Flour City Rockers- Steve Pellecia, Cindy Sams, Andy Knoll, Jeff Cosco, Mike Staertow. What I have going on currently : The band Guiseppi Scungelli and the Screamin Seagulls - Joe Valentino, Al Keltz, Flora Allen, Tom Bruce, Dave Cuff, Ernie Santoro, Daryl Greenway, Art Zazzaro, Sam Palermo. On-going recording projects with Whirlwind's great Ray Bellizia and Jim Kelsey. My favorite Sound Engineers - Al McClean, Sam Bertalone, Carl Cornell, Jim Kelsey - they are the best !!! My current arsenal of performance enhancing gear !! - Whirlwind cables/DI's, Yamaha Drums, Vic Firth sticks, Remo heads, Gibralter rack, DW pedals, Zildjian cymbals
