I started playing drums at 9 years of age I remember beating on my moms pots and pans to my sisters love song records I got my first drum set when I was 10 years old that my mom got for me from a drummer at a club she worked at and just have grown from there. I have a nice in the pocket groove and a nice snare slap and do not overplay and stick to the bass line real well I have pro equipment all tama and trigger my set with Ddrum pro set triggers thru an alesis D4 drum module for that rich deep in tune sound. I use signature line paiste cymbals that gives a rich nice clean crisp sizzle.
