Pro musician (8 years) post-secondary music education at 2 different well-respected institutions (Humber College & York University)
The gigs I play span a huge variety of genres & styles, starting with rock, punk, & metal, to jazz, Latin (Bossa Nova & samba), R&B, & hip hop/rap, as well as electronic, blues, folk, bluegrass, CCM, indie, alternative, and more just to name a few.

EQUIPMENT
It would be good to start that I have a my own private rehearsal space with no time or noise restrictions, meaning it’s available whenever for however long you want however loud you like. Includes drums, mics/stands/cables, PA’s & many amps.
I have 4 drums kits, all different sizes for different venues.
Pearl Export ELX (22” kick 3 Tom’s, for big gigs 250-600 cap venues)
Pearl Midtown (16” kick that packs a punch, 2 tons, 100-250 cap venues)
Pearl Rhythm Traveller (16” kick, 3 concert Toms, portable kit for street gigs or patios)
Pearl Compact Traveller (18” flat kick n snare, perfect for apartment rehearsals or street performances on a whim)
I have 1 5-string bass, an electric and an acoustic guitar, all lefty.
