"Greg is the epitome of a model percussionist – talented, ambitious, eager to learn and devoted to his craft." Stacey Montgomery-Clark (SABIAN vice president of marketing)
"Man, this guy can write addictive songs. I find myself on first listen saying "it's good, I like it". Then I notice I'm coming back to hear it again. And again. Pretty soon I really can't get enough. I love music that sneaks up on me like that". -Brad Stevenson

Hey Greg,
I just listened to your marimba song, and it sounds excellent. I especially like the last movement. Very cool chords and nice syncopation. Can't wait to hear it in its entirety!
