About me:

Born and raised in Texas, I picked up my first pair of sticks at the age of 10 and joined my first band by 13. Mostly a self-taught drummer, I played in local bands throughout my grade school years. After high school, I graduated from the Conservatory of Recording Arts & Sciences in Tempe, Arizona. After seventeen years of sessions and touring, I currently remain in Philadelphia, where I continue my career, as drummer for Courtney Fairchild.

BOOKING: If you're ever in need of a professional drummer, anywhere in the U.S., I have extensive experience live and in the studio! My schedule is flexible and my rates are negotiable! You may view my resume here, and I have audio recordings I can submit upon request.

FOR STUDENTS: If you ever have questions pertaining to music, music business, studio, live sound, drums, cymbals, etc., simply drop me a line. Its always great to share what I've already learned.

Who I'd like to meet:

All walks of life. I get inspired by mostly everyone that crosses my path. I love music and the comedy of life. I love to surround myself with as much of it as possible.Its like oxygen for the soul.

    i'm so glad y'all came into town! it's been too long. y'all sounded great (poor Miguel, what a trooper, playing flawlessly even with the flu!). You all kicked ass as always - the band was synched and tight.

    Talk to you soon,
    Kris.
